Stuart Morgan

Stuart Morgan

Stuart Edward Morgan (born September 9, 1949 in Swansea) is a Welsh former professional footballer and football manager. He played as a central defender.

Stuart Morgan joined West Ham United as a junior, turning professional in March 1967. However, he was never to make the West Ham first team. He joined Torquay United on loan in February 1969, making his league debut on the 15th in a 2-1 win at home to Watford. He remained at Plainmoor until the end of the season, playing 14 league games.

In November 1969, Morgan moved to Reading where he played 46 times before moving to Colchester United in August 1972. He scored twn times in 81 league games for Colchester, before moving to Bournemouth in March 1975.

He was appointed as manager of Weymouth in November 1978, guiding them to second place in the Alliance Premier League in 1979-80. He left Weymouth in November 1983, returning to Bournemouth, as part of Harry Redknapp's coaching staff, where he remained until September 1985 when Morgan was appointed as manager of Torquay United. Torquay finished bottom of Division Four that season, the last before automatic relegation to the Conference would begin. The next season Torquay struggled again and only survived on the last day of the season, at Lincoln City's expense, thanks to a late winner against Crewe Alexandra from Paul Dobson in injury time added after Torquay defender Jim McNichol had been bitten by a police dog.

Morgan resigned in May 1987 and the following month began his second spell as manager of Weymouth. This time he failed to match the success of his first spell and left in 1989 after Weymouth had been relegated from the Conference.

In August 1993 he was appointed as manager of Dorchester Town, but was sacked in September 1999 after a 3-0 defeat in the FA Cup qualifying rounds to a Taunton Town side that contained manager Russell Musker and four players, Tom Kelly, Mark Loram, Chris Myers, and Darren Cann, all of whom he had signed while manager of Torquay.

He later worked as a scout for West Ham United.
