Morton Greats
Graeme Ross
Over the years Greenock Morton football club has
had its highs and lows. Periodically gracing Scotland’s
Premier Division, the club is famous as a warm and
friendly club that has produced such talents as Joe
Jordan and David Hopkin.
In 1997 the club was bought by a new owner and came
to the brink of extinction before being rescued by
Douglas Rae, who has presided over a regeneration
that has seen the club move up rapidly from the third
division to the second, and challenge for promotion
to the first division the very next season.
In this new book about the men who have been the
pride of Cappielow Park over the years, Graeme Ross
has brought together the results of countless interviews
with the players themselves, their friends and relatives,
and fans, to recount the careers of 10 Morton stalwarts
and their contributions to their proud club’s
history.
