Marnie Morrison describes Christmas as ‘a great time for everyone to get together, and have music and food. Everyone just loves it!’
The defender will celebrate Christmas knowing 2024 has been a landmark year for her career.
In the summer, the 19-year-old joined the Club as part of the Professional Game Academy (PGA) programme before making her first-team debut in the Subway Women’s League Cup in October.
Morrison started and played all 90 minutes of the Hammers’ 6-1 rout over Portsmouth at Chigwell Construction Stadium. As well as helping her side register three points on her debut, she was crowned Player of the Match by Claret and Blue supporters.
In November, Morrison joined Hashtag United on dual-registration terms and has made a bright start to life at the Tags, helping them on their quest for promotion from the FA Women's National League Southern Premier Division.
Here are her festive favourites…
Marnie Morrison's festive favourites...
What is your favourite Christmas song?
It’s probably the standard All I Want For Christmas Is You by Mariah Carey.
What is the best part of a Christmas meal?
I love Yorkshire Puddings, I'd have to say them!
What is one part of a Christmas meal you don't like?
Do you know what I think is really overrated? Pigs in blankets. I don’t like the double pork. I just think they’re really overrated!
What is the best Christmas present you’ve ever received?
My favourite presents were probably when I was younger, when I used to get my little footballs, new kits, and things like that. It’s all I used to wear when I was younger!
A favourite kit I received for Christmas was probably a West Ham one. My dad’s a West Ham fan so it was that every year!
Which member of the squad would you most want to spend Christmas with?
I think I’d go with Halle [Houssein] because she’s so funny and we’d have a good laugh!
What is your New Year’s resolution?
I don’t really do New Year’s resolutions, sorry!
