Hugh Morris (1872 – 20 September 1897) was a Welsh footballer who played as a forward for Manchester City, Sheffield United and Grimsby Town in the 19th century.
Morris was the leading goalscorer for the club in the 1891–92 Football Alliance season, scoring 10 goals in 22 appearances, including a hat-trick against Walsall Town Swifts.
[2] In September 1895 Morris was suspended for "lodging in a public house" (the club was run on strict Methodist lines at the time and this was against the terms of his contract),[2] before being transferred back to Ardwick, now renamed Manchester City, in the following November along with Joe Davies and Bob Hill.
[2] Returning to Hyde Road, Morris made 20 appearances in his second spell at the Manchester club, before moving to Grimsby Town in May 1896 where he played for a further season.
Morris moved to Southern League side Millwall in the summer of 1897, but contracted tuberculosis not long after his transfer and died before he could make his debut.
