- Tom Morrison (footballer)
Thomas 'Tom' Morrison (born 21 January 1904 in Coylton, Ayrshire, Scotland) was a Scottish international footballer who played for Liverpool.
Club career
Morrison played for Troon Athletic and St Mirren and won the Scottish Cup with St Mirren in 1926.
He was signed by Liverpool manager Matt McQueen in November 1927 for £4000. He made his debut on 11 February 1928 at Fratton Park in a 1st Division match against Portsmouth, which ended Portsmouth beating the Reds 1-0
His first goal came almost two years later on the 13 December 1930 when he scored a first minute goal at Highbury in a 1-1 draw with Arsenal.
Morrison, a defender, made an immediate impression upon joining the Reds, gaining a spot in the starting line-up which he held on to for the rest of the season. He again held on to his place in the side and remained one of the only two ever-presents, along with James Jackson. Morrison's consistency remmained his greatest asset, he averaged a more than respectable 36 appearances per season over the following five campaigns.
Morrison was eventually displaced by Robert Savage and was allowed a transfer, he moved to Sunderland in November 1935. The Black Cats went on to capture the League title in 1936 which he played alongside with Raich Carter at Roker Park.
Tom also went on to represent Ayr United before he retired.
International career
Morrison gained just one cap for Scotland, whilst he was with St Mirren. He played in a British Championship match at Hampden Park, Scotland, with a crowd of 111,214, on 2 April 1927 against England. England won the match 2-1.
