Ledger Ritson (28 April 1921 – March 1977) was an English professional footballer who played in the Football League for Leyton Orient as a left back. After retiring from football, he jointly coached and advised the Leyton Orient reserve and 'A' teams with Syd Hobbins.
Personal life
Ritson served in the British Army during the Second World War. His football career was ended by a broken right leg, during a training run at Leyton Stadium in December 1949, while rehabilitating without his doctor's knowledge after having suffered a compound fracture to the same leg three months earlier. Gangrene set in and the leg was amputated in January 1950.
