Playing career
Ritchie started his career in 1977-78 with Manchester United, and later played for Brighton & Hove Albion, Leeds United, Oldham Athletic and Scarborough, making 661 appearances (88 as substitute) and scoring 210 goals. He played his last game, for Oldham, in the 1998-99 season.
Ritchie is regarded as one of Oldham Athletic's finest ever footballers, and is also an ex-manager of the club as well as a patron of Trust Oldham.
Managerial career
After a successful spell back at Elland Road in charge of Youth Development, Ritchie left to become Paul Hart's assistant at Barnsley. After Hart was sacked in March 2005, Ritchie's successful spell as caretaker manager led to him being confirmed as full time manager in May 2005.[1] In the 2005/06 season, he led the club to the League One playoff final against Swansea City. The match was played on 27 May 2006 at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff. Barnsley's victory on penalties (following a 2-2 draw) secured promotion to the Football League Championship.
Ritchie was approached by Sheffield Wednesday about their vacant manager's position, following the sacking of Paul Sturrock in October 2006. However, the request was turned down by Barnsley.[2] Ritchie was sacked by Barnsley on November 21, 2006, with the team in the relegation zone of the League Championship.[3]
Ritchie was appointed Huddersfield Town manager on 11 April 2007.[4]
