[leedsmiller]

Always sad to hear of a Miller's passing. Being of the Jock Quairney, Roy Ironside era I remember Gordon very well. RIP and condolences to family and friends.

I was at Wolves when Gordon Morritt played in goal at a night match, we drew 1-1 with Keith Pring scoring for the Millers,
we stood behind one of the goals with Wolves fans, ( you could do that then without any trouble ), Morritt played a
blinder that night.
We lost the replay at Millmoor, Wolves had the well known players in then, Ron Flowers etc.

Saturday afternoon game Eric, replay was mid-week evening ko at millmoor, Roy Lambert was strechered off early in replay never forget that thought he was dead, think we lost 0-3 U.T.M.

Legend has it that Gordon once jumped over the wall behind his goal at the Railway End to get out of the rain! Don’t know how true this was, hopefully a MM postee can confirm , or not .
Condolences to his family.

the damage that night ?

Sounds like those games were before John Richards' time.
