Elfed Morris (9 June 1942 – 4 November 2013) was a Welsh professional footballer. He played in The Football League for Wrexham, Chester and Halifax Town.[1]
Playing career
The nephew of former Wrexham manager Billy Morris, Elfed joined Wrexham in May 1960 after starting out with his hometown club of Colwyn Bay.[2] Two years later he moved to local rivals Chester, where he was to spend the majority of his professional career.
Morris scored 69 league goals over the next six years, leaving him as the club's fourth highest Football League scorer in their history.[3] 24 of them came in 1964–65, when Morris and fellow attackers Jimmy Humes, Mike Metcalf, Hugh Ryden and Gary Talbot all managed at least 20 goals each in league and English cup matches.[4] Morris scored an identical tally the following season, amid rumours he would be leaving for a bigger club.[4]
Morris ended his league career at Halifax Town, before spending time in non-league football with Caernarfon Town, Bethesda Athletic, Llandudno Borough and Colwyn Bay.[2] He managed both Caernarfon and Colwyn Bay[5] before becoming club groundsman with the Bay,.[6] Morris died on the 4th of November 2013.[1]
Away from football, Morris ran his own entertainment agency in Colwyn Bay.[2]
