John "Johnny" Morrissey (born 18 April 1940) is an English former footballer who played in the Football League for Liverpool, Everton and Oldham Athletic. ==Club career== Morrissey was born in Liverpool, and began his football career as a junior with Liverpool F.C., signing professional forms when he turned 17, and making his debut in September 1957. He played as an outside left, and was unable to dislodge Alan A'Court from that position in the first team.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=John Morrissey )〕 In 1962 he "crossed the park" to join Everton for a fee of £10,000,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Everton Legends I–M )〕 sold without manager Bill Shankly's knowledge.〔 He scored on his Everton debut, in the first league Merseyside derby in 11 seasons, which finished as a 2–2 draw, and went on to help the club to the First Division title in his first season.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Everton Player Stats John Morrissey )〕 He scored the goal in the semi-final that took Everton to the 1968 FA Cup Final,〔 and played on the losing side in that match. In 10 years with Everton, Morrissey scored 50 goals from 314 games in all competitions.〔 Despite his small stature Morrissey had a reputation as an uncompromising player, Jimmy Greaves once commenting that he "always got the retaliation in first!". Johnny Giles, however, whilst later recognising Morrissey's unflinching style, commented first on him: "Well Johnny Morrissey, first of all, was a top-class player. He was a terrific player." He finished his career with a brief stay at Oldham Athletic, which brought his total of League appearances over the 300 mark.〔 His son John had a successful career with Tranmere Rovers making 470 League appearance for them between 1985 and 1999. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Johnny Morrissey」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
