These stats are taken from Joe's autobiography and comparing various other sources. He says that he signed for Leeds after only 12 appearances with Morton. He specifically mentions: making his Morton debut by starting against West Bromwich Albion in the Texaco Cup, coming on as a substitute at Parkhead against Celtic and starting against Rangers. However I'm not 100% sure about how many of those 12 appearances were as starts or as a substitute so those above may be incorrect.
