About Martin Moran
Lived 1879 – 1948 (aged 68–69). Martin Moran was an association football player.
Martin Moran (8 December 1873 – 26 January 1967) was a Scottish footballer who played mainly as an outside right. His many clubs included Celtic (two spells), Clyde, Heart of Midlothian, Hamilton Academical Millwall Athletic and Chelsea in England. Small and slight in stature, he was known as "Mighty Midget".
His first spell at Celtic in 1898, included appearances in a two-legged friendly billed as the informal 'Championship for Great Britain' against Sheffield United (although the first match took place before either club was officially champion of their nation), prior to being moved on in October of that year along with several other fringe players in a cost-cutting measure.
After a good season with Clyde he moved to England with Sheffield United, where he was a back-up squad member as the Blades were runners-up in the 1899–1900 Football League, then played a minor role in Middlesbrough's promotion from the second tier in 1901–02. From 1902 to 1904 he appeared in 99 competitive matches (17 goals) for Millwall Athletic, reached the FA Cup semi-final in 1902–03 and won the London League and the Southern Professional Charity Cup in 1903–04. In his season with Hearts back in Scotland he won the minor Rosebery Charity Cup, but received no further representative honours.
