† Appearances (Goals).Chris Morrow (born 20 September 1985 in Belfast, Northern Ireland), is a footballer who currently plays for Irish League side Crusaders.
Chris has played for Crusaders as a midfielder since making his debut in 2003, and was voted Ulster Young Footballer of the Year in 2003/04.[1] He has been a fan favourite for Crusaders for several years, and was instrumental in their promotion back to the Irish Premier Division,[2] and was part of both the Irish Cup and County Antrim Shield winning sides. He was also named in the Irish League Select XI in 2008.[3]
On 30 October 2010 in a league victory against Coleraine, he pulled on the goalkeeping jersey for the final 10 minutes, after Niall Murphy had been sent off. He kept a clean sheet for the remainder of the match despite intense pressure.,[4] and repeated the feat later that season against Newry City, this time playing as goalkeeper for a full hour after Chris Keenan was stretchered off.[5] That season he also scored the winning goal against Linfield at Seaview, the first time the Crues had beaten the Blues since 1999.[6]
