Career
Nicky Morgan started at his boyhood club West Ham United as an apprentice before earning a professional contract in 1978. He failed to make an impression at Upton Park and joined Portsmouth in 1982 after being on loan at FC Den Haag in Holland in 1981/1982 where he scored 6 goals. He did much better at Pompey scoring 32 goals in 95 games and became known by the fans as 'Super Nicky Sub'.
