Sean Morrison - Headache

Young central defender Sean Morrison, 19, put in another solid shift for Swindon at the weekend and is rapidly becoming a headache as far as League One strikers are concerned - but Robins’ fans may not realise he was carrying a major one of his own on Saturday.

I bumped into Sean as he was leaving the County Ground and he was looking quite peaky as he told me:

“I had a migraine all morning. I started to feel a bit better after the game started, but in the second half got a little dizzy. I want nothing more now than just to go home to bed.”

I lost count of the number of times Morrsion put his head to the ball during the game and can’t help but feel that I and most other football fans with a headache – no matter how keen we are – wouldn’t fancy kicking a ball as it came down out of the clouds let alone nutting it. You certainly have to be brave and committed to the cause to do so ... or be completely mad.

Manager Danny Wilson praised the young central defender and said:

“Sean was ill less than three quarters of an hour before the game and he was very, very to start. That was a credit to Sean and he didn’t get any better as the game went on, but he stuck to his task great.”
