Clinton Morrison | Footballer

Clinton Morrison spent his youth years first at Tottenham Hotspur and then Crystal Palace, before moving to Palace’s senior team in 1998. He quickly became a first team regular for the club, becoming their first choice striker. He moved over to Birmingham City in 2002, but his start at the club was hindered by injury. Due to financial issues, Cliton was bought back by Crystal Palace in 2005, where he ended up scoring his 100th goal and winning a Special Achievement Award to mark it at the end of the 2007 season’s “Player of the Year” ceremony.

He left Crystal Palace again, signing for Coventry City, followed by Sheffield Wednesday, Milton Keynes Dons, Brentford, Colchester United, Long Eaton United, Exeter City, Redditch United, and Mickleover Sports over the next nine years.

Through his club career, he represented his teams at the UEFA Intertoto Cup, League Cup, Football League Championships, and Football League Trophy. Overall he made 671 appearances and scored an impressive 156 goals.

As well as his club career, Clinton was also a popular player on the international field. Apart from England, the country of his birth, he was also eligible to represent Jamaica and the Republic of Ireland. He was called up to the Ireland side in 2001, making his debut against Croatia, scoring their second goal of the game. Whilst playing for the Republic of Ireland, he represented them at World Cups and European Championships.

Clinton announced his retirement from professional football in 2017.
