About Bob Morrison
Lived 1869 – 1891 (aged 21). Bob Morrison was a British association football player.
Robert Morrison (30 August 1869 – 12 July 1891) was a footballer who played as a defender for Linfield and the Ireland national team.
Born in Greenock in Scotland, Morrison's family moved to Belfast in Ireland when he was an infant. He played in Linfield's double-winning team which claimed the Irish Cup and the first edition of the Irish League in the 1890–91 season. His standard of play led to him being selected for Ireland in two British Home Championship fixtures in early 1891, a 7–2 home win over Wales followed by a 6–1 away defeat to England. However, he contracted pneumonia and died from the illness in July of that year, aged 21.
