Bruce Morrow

Bruce Morrow played as a winger and represented Australia 31 times from 1956 to 1967, including at the 1956 Melbourne Olympics.

Making his induction into the Football Australia Hall of Fame in 2005 all the more special, Morrow gave his medallion to his mother in dedication to his sister Janette who died of cancer three years ago to the day. The induction of Morrow and Johnston at the same time was remarkable.

Morrow played with the former Liverpool defender's father Col, and played against Johnston when he broke into premier division in Newcastle as a teenager.

Morrow started his career as a 14-year-old and broke into premiers in Newcastle as a 16-year-old with Wallsend in 1953.

He was tempted by some officials to head to England to try his luck, but he said he was making more money in Australia playing for Apia Leichhardt in Sydney than he could overseas.

But he still came up against many English clubs including Manchester United, Chelsea and Blackpool with various local rep sides.
