In August 2001, Morrison was called up to thesenior teamsquad for the first time.[204]Morrison made his debut for Ireland in a 2–2 draw on 15 August 2001 againstCroatia;he entered the game as a 52nd-minute substitute and scored the national side's second goal of the game.[205][206]Morrison then played in the second leg ofWorld Cup Play–OffagainstIran,coming on as a 75th-minute substitute, as Ireland went on to win 2–1 on aggregate to qualify for the World Cup.[207]He later describe playing in Iran as "one of the craziest atmospheres he ever played in".[208]

Morrison then scored his second national goal, in a 3–0 win againstDenmarkon 27 March 2002 when "his pace and directness continued to cause the Danish defence problems and, in injury timeColin HealyandDavid Connollycombined to leave him a chance which he side-footed in ".[25]He was selected byMick McCarthyas part of the Republic of Ireland squad for the2002 World Cupin South Korea and Japan.[209]However, he did not play.[210]Morrison's international career began to gain momentum during his time atBirmingham City.He scored his first competitive international goal in a 4–2 European Championship qualifying defeat toRussiain Moscow in September 2002.[211][212][213]The next two years saw Morrison scored two more goals for Republic of Ireland in a friendly match againstScotlandandAustralia.[214][215]

Morrison later became a key part of the side as the Republic of Ireland competed for a place at World Cup 2006. He scored three goals in the qualifying campaign, butBrian Kerr's side finished fourth in a tight group that includedSwitzerland,FranceandIsrael.[213][216]At one point during the qualifying campaign, Morrison accusedAlexander Freiof making a racist comment to him during the Switzerland and Republic of Ireland match on 9 September 2004.[217]Frei refuted Morrison's claim, and no sanctions were levied against Frei.[218]

Despite scoring in 11 out of 14 games for Palace, Morrison was not called into the Ireland squad to faceBrazilin a friendly in February 2008. However, his continued good form with Palace led to him being recognised by Ireland coachGiovanni Trapattoniin his first provisional 40-man squad, though he did not make it to the 28-man squad.[219]Following this, Morrison was never featured in the national team squad and ended his international career, making thirty–six appearances and scoring nine times.[220]

Media career

edit

Morrison did some media work as a pundit onSky SportsandFootball League TonightonChannel 5.[221][222]

In September 2020,Sky Sportsannounced Morrison as their new pundit forSoccer Saturday.[223]

Personal life

edit

Growing up, Morrison supportedTottenham Hotspur,but idolisedIan Wright.[14]He revealed in an interview with The Guardian that he "grew up in a broken home in south London" with his mother and sister.[20][3]Morrison was known as Clinton Chambers before changing his surname when he was 15.[3]The impetus for the change was his father walking out on the family when Morrison was seven years old, leaving his mother to raise two children alone.[224]

Morrison later credited his mother for being a big influence in his life, saying: "She did everything for me, my Mum. Everything. She kept me in school when I didn't want no lessons, she brought me to games, she kept my chin up. I don't think I would have turned bad, doing crimes and that. It's not me, not the way I am, but in the same way I don't know what would have happened. There was a lot of crime going on."[3]Clinton is a father to two boys; one of whom is following in his footsteps and is signed toNottingham Forest Academy.[221][225]He since resided inLong Eaton,while also working in broadcasting.[226]

Morrison has been involved in campaigning againstracisminEnglish football,having experienced racism himself.[227]During his professional football career he was a mentor to some footballers, includingPatrick van Aanholt.[228]

In August 2003, Morrison was questioned by police on suspicion of illegal drug possession but did not face charges after questioning.[229]
