Jack Sullivan has reacted to debut heroics from former West Ham United enigma Ravel Morrison.
Ex West Ham playmaker Morrison was once touted as the best Manchester United academy player since Paul Scholes by none other than Sir Alex Ferguson.
And he showed why with an unforgettable but short-lived spell of brilliance on moving to West Ham back in 2012.
Morrison forced his way into Sam Allardyce’s side and his breathtaking skill and ability captivated Hammers fans.
West Ham’s fleeting glimpse of genius
The midfielder scored five goals in 24 games for West Ham before falling out of favour with Allardyce for non-footballing reasons.
Morrison’s attitude has been questioned throughout his career.
And it was no different when he fell out of favour in East London.
Morrison left for Lazio in Italy in 2015. But he failed to establish himself with the Serie A side and was loaned out to QPR and Mexican side Atlas.
Sullivan sons took a shine to Ravel
He enjoyed a meteoric rise at West Ham with his brilliant solo goal against bitter rivals Tottenham Hotspur cementing his place in Hammers folklore.
During his time at West Ham Morrison became a particular favourite of Jack and Dave Sullivan, the sons of co-owner David Sullivan.
The latest chapter in a nomadic career has taken the 26-year-old to Swedish club Ostersund.
And Jack Sullivan showed he still keeps a keen eye on Morrison’s career by liking and retweeting a post on Twitter about the attacker’s debut goal for his new club in a 3-0 win over Sirius.
Could Pellegrini bring a mature and performing Morrison back to East London?
Some goal it was too. Morrison volleyed into the top corner after working himself some space in the box.
Manuel Pellegrini has proved he is willing to take chances on quality playmakers. Even ones with questionable reputations or injury records. Samir Nasri and Jack Wilshere being cases in point.
If the midfielder shows his talent in Sweden, it is not unthinkable that Pellegrini could look to bring a more mature Morrison back to East London.
