Hugh Morgan (1875 – after 1907)[1] [2] [other source shows birth year of 1876][3] was a Scottish footballer who played as a forward for several clubs in both Scotland and England.
Born in Lanarkshire,[1] Morgan started his career with Harthill Thistle,[1] but moved to Airdrieonians in August 1896 before transferring to Sunderland four months later.[4] [5] He joined Bolton Wanderers[6] in February 1899 for £200, then Newton Heath in December 1900.[1]
Morgan then joined Manchester City, and made 12 league appearances for them and three in the FA Cup in the 1901–02 season.[7] Morgan made his City debut on 7 September 1901 against Sunderland, with his home debut againstSmall Heath following the next week.[8] He played in 10 of City's first 13 games of the season, and scored his only goal against Nottingham Forest on 30 November 1901.[8] Morgan's final City appearance was on 22 February 1902 against Grimsby Town.[8]
He signed for Accrington Stanley in the summer of 1903, before joining Blackpool in May 1904. He made his debut for the club in the opening game of the 1904–05 campaign – a goalless draw at Leicester Fosse on 3 September. He went on to make a quarter-century of league appearances for the Seasiders, scoring four goals in the process (including one in a defeat at his former club, Manchester United, on 24 April 1905, in his final game). He also scored Blackpool's only goal in their FA Cup campaign that season, a First Round defeat at Bristol City on 14 January.[9]
He returned to Scotland after leaving Blackpool, playing two final seasons with Hamilton Academical from 1905 to 1907. He averaged a goal every other game, scoring 12 times in 24 appearances in all competitions.[10]
