Career
Morocutti grew up in Ober-St. Veit and came in 1914 at the age of 14 to the local Amateur SV. He was always called "Cutti" by the supporters of the club. As a result of the First World War, many of the regulars were not available. So he made his debut in the first team at the age of 16 in the position of left winger. In 1920 the amateurs reached the final of the ÖFB Cup for the first time. In 1921 a title was won for the first time with the cup victory against the Wiener Sport-Club, but Morocutti was not used in the final game. Finally he played as right winger where he became an important assistant giver for Kálmán Konrád and later for Gustav Wieser, Viktor Hierländer and Matthias Sindelar. After differences with the club's management he went to WAC in 1930.
International career
In January 1922 he debuted for the national team in a 3-3 draw against Italy. He scored his first goal for the national team in April 1925. In total he played 17 international matches and scored five goals.
Personal life
He owned a company as a dental technician since 1924. After his football career ended he worked there. After the annexation of Austria in 1938, he worked again in the managment of FK Austria Wien. Morocutti applied for admission to the NSDAP on 28 May 1938 and was admitted (membership number 6,125,710).[3]
