An Australian international and Queensland State of Origin representative front row forward, he played club football in the New South Wales Rugby Football League for Balmain, and in the Brisbane Rugby League for Eastern Suburbs (with whom he won the 1977 and 1978 Grand Finals) and Wynnum-Manly (with whom he won the 1982 Grand Final).
He signed with the Balmain Tigers in 1979 and was brought to Sydney, thus becoming eligible to play for New South Wales under the selection criterion of the time.
Morris is also remembered for his short-lived "Deer in the headlights" style when making his Channel Nine debut as a commentator for the 1989 State of Origin series.
In March 2021, he expanded his business ventures by acquiring and constructing an additional location in Morningside, which is also known as McDonald's Colmslie.
Mr Morris, has also been able to provide eight employees from my Cannon Hill store with an opportunity to step into managerial roles.
