Evelyn Sneddon Morrison (1 August 1902 – 15 November 1968) was a Scottish footballer who played as a centre forward. His most notable spell was with Falkirk, where he finished as the top scorer in Scottish Football League Division One in the 1928–29 season, scoring 43 goals.[1] This remains the highest single-season total ever recorded for the club.[2][3]
He also played for Stenhousemuir (where he made his senior debut in 1927 aged 26), Sunderland[4][5] and Partick Thistle, where it appears his short period as a professional concluded in 1932 despite maintaining a strong rate of goalscoring.[6]
Morrison was born in South Africa to Scottish parents; the family returned to their native Lanarkshire while he was a young boy.[7] After his football career ended he became a school teacher in Blantyre.[8] In 1939 he married Lily Ann Stewart Ashenhurst (1904–1960)
