A COMMEMORATIVE glass tumbler from Morton's greatest-ever victory has been unearthed by a fan in England.

David Allardice of Bromsgrove in Worcestershire said he inherited it from his great-uncle, who lived in Greenock.

And he wondered if anyone else also had one of the mementoes from the Ton's only Scottish Cup Final triumph, when they beat Rangers 1-0 at a packed Hampden Park.

The tumbler features a picture of the cup and the words 'Good Old Morton, winners of the Scottish Cup 1921-22'.

Jimmy Gourlay scored the winning goal of the final after 12 minutes in front of 70,000 spectators at Hampden Park.

David, a retired local government officer, explained that his great-uncle, William Allardice, bought the glass and kept it for many years at the family home in Belville Street.

William, who worked in one of the local shipyard offices, continued to live there until his death in the 1960s.

David said: "It was at this time that the glass was given to my grandfather James Allardice who by then lived in the Midlands.

"The glass was then handed down eventually to me, but now I think it would be nice if it was passed back to the Greenock area.

"It must have been a momentous occasion at the cup final. Morton beat the mighty Rangers and, sadly, have never won the cup since, so this is a reminder of one of their greatest-ever days." David also explained how his grand-dad came to live in England.

He said: "He served with the Highland Light Infantry in northern France during the First World War and was wounded in the stomach and brought back to Britain.

"He was sent to a convalescent home in Staffordshire and it was there he met his future wife, Beatrice, who was working as a care assistant.

"Since then the family have lived in the Midlands."
