Morrison proud of years in green but felt ‘stabbed in back’ by Stan

Clinton Morrison may be in the twilight of his career, but he still boasts to his younger team-mates about when he played in big games for the Republic of Ireland.

Now 34, the London-born striker earned 36 caps — scoring nine goals — and even travelled to the 2002 World Cup. But those days are nothing more than golden memories now.

Still, Morrison, who is preparing for the new League One season with Colchester United, is proud of his experience representing Ireland despite insisting that it ended far too early.
