Shoreham Street - Til Death Us Do Part
The title is pretty self explanatory really.
I am openly a big admirer of everything that Chris Morgan has done for this football club. He has been involved in all of the highs that our football club has reached in the last decade and had he not got injured and forced to retire I am more than certain that he would still be in the back four for us now, wearing the captains armband and yelling at players to get their fingers out of their backsides as well as giving the younger lads in the squad a bit of motivation and encouragement.
Whether you are an admirer of Chris Morgan or not you have to agree that he has been nothing but a servant of the club since moving here. Everything about him is Sheffield United and I now look at him as equally a die hard fan of the club as he is an employee. He got injured but he wanted to get his coaching stuff underway and most importantly he wanted to do this at Sheffield United, when the opening came about both post Wilson and post Weir, Morgs was there to pick up the pieces and openly admitted that he wanted to manage this club and lead it back to where it belongs.
So this brings us on to testimonials?. You don't get many of those these days do you as loyalty is somewhat a thing of the past in modern day football.........
Anyhow Morg's signed for us in July 2003 from Barnsley and had he not done his knee in most people would lay their house on him playing beyond 2013 and as I said you would have a job on stopping him playing for us now. Players get a benefit / testimonial match for 10 years playing for a club do they not? Or on occasions players get one should they retire or be forced to retire through injury.
For this season I can't see any reason why Chris Morgan isn't eligible for his testimonial? He's still there now at the managers side on the training ground, with the youth team and in the dugout.
What do you reckon? Yay or Neigh?
PS - If you believe Morg's should get his Testimonial then who should it be against?
