About Calum Ritchie

Calum is a GiveMeSport journalist, covering the biggest stories in world sport. Having taken part in the GiveMeSport Academy in early 2023, Calum joined the team full-time in June of the same year before moving into the role of editor shortly after. This came after completing a Freelance Journalism course through the British College of Journalism.

Having also produced news content for HITC Sport and Read Liverpool, he has created a wide range of content for GMS, including news, opinion, features, lists and viral sport content. 

His passion for sports extends further than football, as he has covered several sports for GMS, including Boxing, Tennis, and Wrestling.

Favorite Sports Team

Calum is a fan of both Aberdeen and Liverpool, with the former being his local side. 

His passion for Liverpool stems from the enjoyment he had watching Fernando Torres and Steven Gerrard in the famous red shirt as a young fan.

Favorite Player

His long-standing loyalties lie with Liverpool icon Steven Gerrard, although Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah have provided competition to the English midfielder in recent times.

Favorite Sports Moment

Calum's favourite sports moment came when his nation - Scotland - reached their first major international tournament in his lifetime after securing a dramatic penalty shootout victory over Serbia in 2020. 

As a proud Scot, Calum felt immense joy watching Andy Murray win Wimbledon for the first time in 2013, having seen his heartbreak the year before.
