About Jimmy Morgan

Lived 1922 – 1975 (aged 52). Jimmy Morgan was a British association football player.

William James Morgan (19 June 1922 – 11 October 1976) was a professional footballer who played in The Football League for Bristol Rovers immediately after the Second World War. Jimmy was a member of the Barton Hill Morgan footballing family which included his uncles Jerry Morgan (Bristol Rovers), Tom Morgan (Bristol City), Fred Morgan (Bristol City) and Jim Morgan (Wolverhampton Wanderers).

Prior to his footballing career Morgan had served in the Royal Marines during the war and took part in the Normandy Landings in 1944.
