Morison spent two years at Leeds United after joining from Norwich City in 2013.

Steve Morison of Leeds United issues instructions during the pre season friendly match between York City and Leeds United at Bootham Crescent on July 15, 2015 in York, England.

The Millwall striker, Steve Morison, has been trolled by Leeds United’s official Twitter account.

Morison spent two seasons on Leeds’ books between 2013 and 2015, scoring just five goals in 42 games before joining Millwall for a second spell.

The Welshman had previously been at Norwich City, who included him in the deal to bring Luciano Becchio from the Whites to Carrow Road.

Becchio had scored 86 goals in 219 games for Leeds, and cost Norwich an undisclosed sum plus Morison.

But the mistake has not been forgotten five years on, with Leeds tweeting – in response to the former UKIP leader Nigel Farage’s claim that Theresa May’s Brexit deal is the worst in history:

Morison remains highly regarded at Millwall, for whom he has won two promotions and scored 92 goals in 308 appearances.

The 35-year-old set up three goals in the Lions’ 4-3 win against Leeds at Elland Road last season.

Is Leeds’ dig at the former Norwich man justified?
