He came off the bench in a 1-1 draw with Wolves in the Premier League in Februay 2011, and started the 3-1 defeat in the reverse fixture in May that same year.

Morrison's final two games versus Wolves as a player were hugely enjoyable, though, playing a part in a 2-0 triumph at The Hawthorns in October 2011.

Just four months later, he played as West Brom routed their rivals 5-1 at Molineux in one of the most famous results of the Baggies' modern history.
