Clinton Hubert Morrison (born 14 May 1979) is a former professional footballer who plays as a forward for Mickleover Sports.
Morrison began his career at local side Crystal Palace in 1998, for whom he scored over 100 goals across two spells, despite a less successful period at Birmingham City in between.
Born in England, he represented the Republic of Ireland 36 times at full international level, scoring 9 goals, and made their squad for the 2002 FIFA World Cup.
Morrison was born in Tooting, London. He began his career at Crystal Palace of the First Division, making his debut on 10 May 1998 as an 82nd-minute substitute for Neil Shipperley, and scoring the injury-time winner over opponents Sheffield Wednesday. The next season (1998–99, his first full year-long tenure at the club) saw him score 13 goals, while Palace were struggling both on and off the pitch. Whilst they were in administration, Morrison agreed to play for the club for free.
In 1999–2000, he played more than 30 games, and scored 14 goals, including his only brace of the season at Swindon Town.
His 2000–01 saw 14 goals, but the next season he scored 26 goals, and transferred to Premier League side Birmingham City.
With a tricky relationship becoming clear between Morrison and Trevor Francis, then Palace manager, it was Birmingham City who fought and won his signature, for £4.25 million, in exchange for Andrew Johnson. However, Morrison struggled somewhat in the top league, scoring only six goals in his first, and four goals in his second season, although he did score Birmingham's first goal against arch rivals Aston Villa in 16 years following the club's return to the top flight, during a 3-0 victory at St. Andrews. However, following a spell on the sidelines with injury, during the 2004–05 season he began to form a decent strike partnership with Emile Heskey.
