Ribchester, William
[Player Pics]
The two game Celtic career of William Ribchester was interrupted by the horrors of the First World War.
An outside-right Ribchester was signed by the Bhoys in November 1916 as an 18-year-old and he made his debut in a 3-1 league win at Queen’s Park on November 11th in place of the injured Andy McAtee.
The former Parkhead Juniors man played again a week later but by early 1917 William was drafted into the army and on his return to civilan life in 1919 he was allowed to leave Celtic for Albion Rovers after failing to make any impact at Parkhead.
