Guy Morgan (26 December 1907 – 29 July 1973) was a Welsh rugby union player who captained Wales in 1929. He also played cricket for Glamorgan County Cricket Club.
Rugby career
Morgan was born in Garnant and gained his first international cap playing for Wales Secondary Schools, in a team that contained future Wales full internationals Harry Bowcott and J.D. Bartlett.[4] While at Cambridge University he played for the University rugby team in a Varsity match.[1] Between 1926 and 1929, Morgan won four Blues, and gained his first cap while still at Cambridge, in a game against France at St Helens. It was an incredible debut for Morgan, scoring a try and being prominent in the scoring of four others.[5] By the time he played his third international game in 1929 he was playing for Swansea, and on 2 February that year, at the age of 22, he was captain of his country. He would play just another four games, three more as captain.
