Playing career

[edit | edit source]

Ryder began his club career with Ballymun Kickhams before later transferring to St Vincent's.[1] It was with the latter club that he won the All-Ireland Club Championship in 1976. Ryder was a member of the Dublin minor football team, and later won consecutive Leinster Under-21 Championship titles. He was drafted onto the Dublin senior football team in March 1974. Ryder went on to play in six consecutive All-Ireland finals, with victories as a substitute in 1974 and 1977, while his only winners' medal came on the field of play in 1976.[2] His other honours include two National Football League titles.

Coaching career

Ryder spent five years as coach, and later selector, with the Dublin senior team from 1990 to 1995.[3] In that period, Dublin won four consecutive Leinster Championships and the All-Ireland Championship title in 1995.[4][5]
