"Obviously I was on a scholar’s wage, I was young," Morrison said. “You used to get like £250 for a pair of boots. You take two pairs of boots, you get £500 and you go home and buy your family a Chinese or something. “You guys used to get like 30 pairs of boots. I didn’t mean it to cause so much harm but when I used to see yours or [Wayne] Rooney’s deliveries, you’d get 20-30 pairs at a time, I was thinking one pair to put some food on the table at home, I didn’t think it would be a big problem but obviously, now I know.”Morrison appeared visibly moved at one point in the interview, which can be viewed in full below, when Ferdinand read out a message about him from Sir Alex Ferguson. "Rio, my first and lasting memory of Ravel as a young lad was that he was always got time and space," Ferguson's message read. "He's always available to be on the ball, so unusual for a young lad of his age. "Give my regards to him please. Another thing about Ravel, which I've always treasured because no other young player who made their debut did it, was after the first game in the first team that he played, the next morning he came to my office and gave me a letter thanking me for giving me his debut. "I was gobsmacked Rio. The boy had a good heart, he was just beaten by his background." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9MnBGpFeYlI
