Arsenal Morrow first played for
Bangor as youth, before joining Arsenal in July 1987. A versatile utility man, who could play at
full back,
centre back or
midfielder, Morrow had loan spells at
Reading,
Watford and
Barnet, before making his debut for Arsenal as a
substitute in a
First Division match on 8 April 1992 against
Norwich City, in place of the injured
Nigel Winterburn. By the start of
1992–93 he had played more times for his country than for Arsenal, but another injury to Winterburn brought him back to Highbury for a spell in November, and he finally established himself in the side. He played some of his matches in midfield in a marker role, as Arsenal reached the
League Cup and
FA Cup finals. Morrow started the
League Cup final against
Sheffield Wednesday; after falling behind to a
John Harkes goal, Arsenal equalised through
Paul Merson, and then Merson set up Morrow to score the winner (which was also his first for the club). In the celebrations after the match, Arsenal skipper
Tony Adams attempted to pick up Morrow and parade him on his shoulders, but Adams slipped and Morrow awkwardly hit the ground. He broke his arm and had to be rushed to hospital. As a result, Morrow missed the rest of that season, including the
FA Cup final (also against Sheffield Wednesday), where Arsenal completed the Cup Double. Before the final kicked off, Morrow received his League Cup winners' medal. The next season Morrow was in and out of the team and played only 13 matches, compared to 25 the previous season. One of those was the scene of an Arsenal triumph, the club's
Cup Winners' Cup final win over
Parma. In an Arsenal midfield depleted of
John Jensen and
David Hillier, Morrow was called up at the last minute and made his first appearance in the competition that season, partnering 20-year-old
Ian Selley, and veteran
Paul Davis in central midfield, as Arsenal beat Parma 1–0 with an
Alan Smith goal. Morrow stuck to his task of stemming
Gianfranco Zola. His was a discreet presence but his contribution was nonetheless significant. Morrow had nearly left the club in March 1994, following an approach from the Premier League's bottom club
Swindon Town, but the transfer fell through and he signed a new contract with Arsenal, where he spent three more years. He went on to play over 20 matches the following season, including a second
Cup Winners' Cup final (which Arsenal lost to
Real Zaragoza). Morrow scored his second Arsenal goal in the League Cup once again against Sheffield Wednesday,{{cite web
Queens Park Rangers After the arrival of
Arsène Wenger in 1996, Morrow was told he was surplus to requirements at Highbury, and he was loaned to
Queens Park Rangers in March 1997; the deal was made permanent that summer. He played 85 games for Arsenal in total, scoring three goals. At QPR, Morrow was initially a regular, but the club struggled, going from contenders for promotion to the
Premiership to facing relegation to the
Second Division. Injuries to his shoulder ligaments ruled Morrow out for most of the
1999–2000 season, and he lost his place in the side. Morrow later had a loan spell at
Peterborough United, but it did not become permanent, and he was released on a
free transfer in the summer of 2001.
Dallas Burn Struggling to find a club in the UK, Morrow moved to the United States to play for
Major League Soccer side
Dallas Burn. He spent two seasons at Dallas (who renamed themselves
FC Dallas in 2004), before retiring because of a persistent neck injury. ==International career==
