Clinton Morrison spent his youth years first at Tottenham Hotspur and then Crystal Palace, before moving to Palace’s senior team in 1998. He quickly became a first team regular for the club, becoming their first choice striker. He moved over to Birmingham City in 2002, but his start at the club was hindered by injury. Due to financial issues, Cliton was bought back by Crystal Palace in 2005, where he ended up scoring his 100th goal and winning a Special Achievement Award to mark it at the end of the 2007 season’s “Player of the Year” ceremony.
