This is the new plaque to “William Morgan (Big Willie). Will always be remembered and sadly missed by all his mates in Tigers Bay. Murdered by cowards 11th July 2002. You will never be forgotten ‘big man’.”
Morgan was struck by a hit-and-run car on July 6th, 2002 and died in hospital five days later. The car is reported to have deliberately mounted the kerb where he was walking on North Queen Street and the attack was thought to have been sectarian, as the alleged driver and passenger were republicans and the car was found burned out in the New Lodge (NewsLetter | IndyMedia).
For the old plaque, see William Morgan.
N Queen Street, Belfast
