Ravel morrison lifts lid on hilarious blues friday night 'training session'

RAVEL MORRISON HAD ONE INTRIGUING SEASON ON LOAN WITH BIRMINGHAM CITY AND NEARLY RETURNED TO THE CLUB FIVE YEARS LATER 15:08, 20 May 2025 Ravel Morrison has revealed how he lent his friends

football boots belonging to his Birmingham City team-mates so they could have a secret kick-around at the club’s training ground. The former Blues loanee was part of Lee Clark’s squad in

2012/13 campaign having arrived for the season on loan from West Ham where he was trying to fulfil the huge talent spotted during his time at Manchester United. Overall Morrison did well for

Blues, playing 30 times with three goals and three assists as Clark’s team finished twelfth and he might well have returned the following season only to opt to try to play more for the

Hammers in the Premier League. Nevertheless, the then 19-year-old did give Clark the odd headache – such as the time he and his pals decided to stage free-kick practice the evening before a

game. Speaking on the Undr the Cosh podcast Morrison recalled: “There was three of them and myself, so there's four of us in total, and none of them had boots. “So we went on the pitch

up top and I gave my friends some of the players’ boots to wear because we were on the pitch. Article continues below “We banged someone in goal, we were just doing shooting, we were there

for like two hours, I thought everyone's gone and then Lee Clark pulled up in the changing room and was in there. “But to be fair, Lee Clark has seen the funny side of it. He was

alright with it but then I got dragged off at half-time I think on the Saturday. "I think he just dragged me off on purpose to prove a point, like, don't do that again on the

Friday night.” Morrison was also known for not being enthusiastic about his strength and conditioning routine, he explained: “When I was young I've never stretched or I never had an

injury – touch wood – so I could jump into training without doing a warm up or start shooting without stretching everything. BIRMINGHAM CITY CHAMPIONS 2024/25 RECORD-BREAKING Birmingham City

didn't want to do it, I just physically can't do it. I like going to the gym, but doing your own things. Sometimes they make you do stuff that other players are doing but you

physically can't do, but because you're in a team and you've got to do it – and I just can't do that. “It's like saying you go outside on the pitch and telling the

defenders to go and finish 5 balls. You couldn't do it or like me going to defend now. Everyone's just different. “I would turn up, but I'd purposely come late in the gym, so

I've missed the first ten minutes and then by the time we've got ten more minutes left, I'm just like walking around and seeing ‘What do we have to do?’ Get one exercise

[done] and then we're out on the field.” Morrison nearly returned to Blues in the summer of 2017 when Harry Redknapp was in charge, indeed he even took him to Austria for the club’s

pre-season training camp but the club couldn’t agree terms with Lazio and the move never happened and he ended up moving to Mexico to play for Atlas. He is currently playing for Precision FC

in Dubai. Article continues below WHAT DO YOU REMEMBER OF MORRISON’S TIME AT BLUES? HAVE YOUR SAY HERE
