(and I don't mean the club's full name or anything) Before he joined Morton he played for Dunfermline and was punted along with AN Other for racially abusing a teammate.

Hayes playing it forward, Bell being forced to do it all alone, now forward from Marr, here's Ritchie, still Andy Ritchie, look at the control... That is a marvellous goal from Andy Ritchie. Twenty minutes on the clock and Morton's supporters come alive. A goal which epitomises the control, the arrogance, the cheek of Andy Ritchie.

Mr.Blue Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Big Parfait appeared at the same time with another player. Was it Karim Boukkra? I remember them both staying at the travel inn in Greenock. I'm sure he was decent too.

Toby Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 My main memory of him was a mazy run he made at the Sinclair Street end that he was unlucky not to score from, possibly against Airdrie. It was shown on Scotsport or Football First at the time, so I dare say AyrshireTon has copied it onto YouTube. I’ll try and dig it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both not lasted 4 months before getting out to escape the Morton directors. http://greenockmortonfc.blogspot.com/2000/01/karim-boukraa-full-name-karim-boukraa.html?m=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those marauding runs with the ball out from the back were outstanding. Good player - real pity that his career was taken from him the way it was. Taken away? Not morton players but 3 of the best performances I've ever seen at cappielow came from black players. Peter Ndlovu (pre season friendly v Coventry), Jefferson (a Brazilian boy who played for wither MyPa or FinnPa) and Lauren Djaffo for Ayr. The latter scoring the best goal against us I've ever seen at Scapa.

Turned out he didn't have one though so came back to play in England before returning to France again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
