Steve Morison was and still is a beneficiary of circumstance.
When everything came crashing down for Cardiff City under Mick McCarthy, the club were unprepared and Morison was in the right place at the right time.
It’s very unlikely that he would have got a Championship job anywhere else at that stage of his development and Cardiff talked about not taking a risk. Yet he did enough in those first few games to impress (admittedly the bar was set very low) and win over supporters that had become disillusioned with what had become rather cowardly football.
