Norman Henry Morgan (born 26 March 1935) is a Welsh former international rugby union player.
Raised in Llanhilleth, Morgan was a left-footed fullback and played his early rugby with the British Army during national service, before joining Newport in 1955. He played over 200 games for Newport, scoring 951 points.[1]
Morgan won three Wales caps in the 1960 Five Nations Championship, debuting against Scotland at home. He was the match-winner in his next appearance, against Ireland at Lansdowne Road, with a successful sideline conversion after captain Onllwyn Brace scored a try nine-minutes from the end, giving them a 10–9 victory.[2] [3]
