RIP Marvin Morgan

[MarkMatthews]

Absolutely tragic, no age like others have said always had time for everyone. Wasn’t he an ambassador for some condition he suffered from? Don’t know if that is linked to his untimely passing.

There was one particular Marvin Morgan game which I can only now half remember in which he was totally on fire for the first 20 minutes or so. The central defender marking him was run ragged to the extent that he was sent off (two bookings I think) and I have a feeling that MM scored a couple of goals too (but that might be my memory playing tricks on me). It was a fabulous display of 'pace and power' attacking play. Does anyone else recall this match (it was at Home Park)?

RIP MM.

(I just asked my daughter whether she remembered this game and her response was: 'Absolutely. First thing I thought of. Against Shrewsbury'. But looking up the stats on Greens on Screen I can't find a game that matches my recollections at all which is a bit weird - I'll blame advancing age for false memories).

((Got it - Argyle v Southend, 30th August 2014, 2-0 to Argyle, no goals for Morgan but it was Cian Bolger who got two yellows within 15 minutes, both for fouls against Morgan, see here: https://www.greensonscreen.co.uk/gosdb-match.asp?date=2014-8-30))

100% Doc.

I seem to remember Bolger was given one warning, even before the second yellow - for also, a pull on Marv. Absolutely untouchable that day.

RIP Marv.

Interesting article here. Cavernoma apparently.
