Profile

 

John Morrissey came through the junior ranks at Anfield before signing professional forms in May 1957 11 days after his 17th birthday.

He played in the same position as Alan A'Court on the outside-left so his first-team possibilities were quite limited. When the Liverpool board decided to sell him over Shankly' head, Bill threatened to quit and actually wrote a resignation letter. Morrissey, who was a tough customer and uncompromising on the field, was quite successful with Everton winning the Championship and FA Cup and playing over 250 games.

Other Clubs:
Everton, Oldham
