Former Burnley winger Willie Morgan has been presented with an award for reaching 25 Scotland caps during his playing career.

Morgan began his career at Burnley and returned to Turf Moor in 1975 following a spell at Manchester United.

The Scot had his cap tally increased from 21 to 26 following the decision to reclassify several tour matches in 1967 as full international fixtures.

This meant that he now qualified for a silver medal in recognition of passing 25 appearances for his country.

Morgan moved to England at the age of 15 to sign for the Clarets and earned his first international cap against Northern Ireland at Windsor Park in 1967.

He joined Manchester United in 1968 and went on to spend seven years at Old Trafford before returning to Turf Moor.

Morgan then spent four years at Bolton Wanderers, helping Ian Greaves’ side win promotion to the First Division.

He also had a stint at Blackpool, as well as spending time in the United States with Chicago Sting and Minnesota Kicks.

The family of late West Brom legend Robert Hope were also presented with a cap. Hope played in matches against Israel, Australia and Canada, which have now been recognised as full internationals, taking his tally to seven.

Richard McBrearty, curator of the Scottish Football Museum, said: “It is great to see Willie Morgan and Bobby Hope honoured for their important endeavours in the international tour of 1967, and for two matches Bobby played in 1968.

“As Anglo-Scots, both players had rewarding careers in the top flight of English football at the time, and they were an integral part of the Scotland squad that embarked on a globe-trotting adventure in what was an incredible year for the Scottish game in general.”
