Английская Википедия:David Morris (Scottish footballer)
Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Use British English Шаблон:Infobox football biography David Main Liston Morris (1897 – 1971) was a Scottish footballer who played as a centre half for Newtongrange Star, Arniston Rangers, Raith Rovers, Preston North End, Chester City, Dundee United and Scotland national team.
After moving from the junior level where he had combined football with work as a shipbuilder in his native Leith,[1] Morris helped Raith Rovers achieve their best-ever Scottish Football League finishes of third in 1921–22 then fourth in 1923–24 before going south to Preston in December 1925, a few months after Alex James made the same move. However, the pair (and several other Scots in the squad) were unable to achieve promotion from the English second division and both departed from Deepdale in 1929.[2] After two years with Chester, he returned to Scotland with Dundee United in 1931.[3][4]
Morris received all six of his caps for Scotland (and one for the Scottish Football League XI) while with Raith Rovers. He is the only serving player from the Kirkcaldy club to have been international captain and appeared for his country six times in total, finishing on the winning side five times with the other match drawn.[5][6][7][8]
