Colin Morris

Colin, Colin Morris, Colin Morris on the wing!
An absolute hero of mine from the eighties, shook the guys hand in a pre-season rout of skeggy on the pitch. A red and white wizard on the wing and a penalty specialist. What's your fave memory of Colin in a Blades shirt?

The many times he raced down the wing and always got his cross in.

Keith Edwards was a very lucky boy to have such service!

Before my time unfortunately; Lee Morris is more my era and, whilst the kid had talent, he was unable to live up to the name.

I wonder who from the current crop will be talked about in such terms in 20 years time.

Totally agree and it would be very interesting in a parallel universe to see how many goals Sir Keith Edwards would have got without the maestro Morris, just read on another site nobody has scored more penalties in the history of sheffield united, or missed as many either!!!!:thumbup:

Definately not in the same class. :thumbup:

Colin Morris was class. Did what a winger should do, ran at the full back and got crosses in.
I remember being absolutely gutted when I saw it on the back of the Star that we were selling him. I was only a kid on my paper round and I was close to tears.

It's that long ago but one of my first ever away games was back in 1987 at villa park. We drew 1-1 if memory serves me rightly Colin morris converted the penalty. Villa fans tried to invade the away end from the road at the end of the game, as a 17 year old I was cacking myself!
What was your 1st away game?:easy:
