Ritchie McAlpine.
It was with much sadness that the club learned of the passing of Ritchie last weekend. A man that loved football and that was his passion. He had a great memory and loved to reminisce the good old days. We first came across Ritchie when he managed Perth Rovers under sixteen’s back in the 1970’s and he remained friends of the Letham club thereafter. We will miss his vocal support and his words of wisdom together with his lovely manner and kindness.
