A Scot playing for Liverpool in 1929 recorded his thoughts on soccer tactics for the Inverness Courier. I re-posted his article over at Massive Report - and talked a little bit about Morrison's life.
Tom Morrison went by the name of Jock Anderson after he abandoned both Liverpool and Sunderland (as well as his wife and child) the night he and the Black Cats celebrated their only only League title.
"Jock" worked as a pea picker in Gamlingay. When he wasn't playing snooker at the local pub, he found time to play evening football with the locals. Gamlingay FC picked him up and with him, won every game he played in.
Game day program from around when Tom Morrison was with St. Mirren FC in the 1920s.
Tom Morrison was lost to history after his time with Gamlingay FC in 1936 but his thoughts on the game have not been.
One of the things I liked about his piece in the Inverness Courier was that it was written as if the pitch and players were right there in front of him.
