Edward Morgan, known as Teddy Morgan, lived from 22 May 1880 to 1 September 1949 and was a Welsh international rugby union winger. He played club rugby for London Welsh and Swansea after moving to London in 1902 to take up a post at Guy's Hospital, where he trained as a doctor. He won his first cap for Wales against England and scored 14 tries for his country. He is best remembered for the winning try against the touring Original All Blacks in the Match of the Century at Cardiff Arms Park on 16 December 1905, and is believed to have led the Welsh crowd in singing the national anthem in answer to the haka. He toured Australasia with the British team in 1904 and captained it against Australia and New Zealand. He later worked as a general practitioner at Sketty in Swansea and then in East Anglia, and died in North Walsham.
