John Trevil Morgan (7 May 1907 – 18 December 1976) was a Welsh cricketer who played first-class cricket for Glamorgan and Cambridge University between 1925 and 1934.
Morgan was a left-handed batsman who bowled right-arm medium pace and occasionally fielded as a wicket-keeper. He was born in Cyncoed, Glamorgan, and was educated at Charterhouse School and Jesus College, Cambridge.[1]
Morgan, usually known as "JT", scored a century for Cambridge University in the 1929 University Match: going to the wicket at 137 for 5, he scored 149 out of 208 in three and a half hours.[2] A few weeks later, he scored 103 not out of a Glamorgan total of 237 against the touring South Africans.[3] He captained Cambridge in 1930, his final year, when they defeated Oxford.[4] He captained Glamorgan's Second XI in the late 1930s and 1940s.[3]
After graduating with a degree in history, Morgan returned to Cardiff to work in his family's department store, David Morgan, becoming chairman of the company in 1935.[5] He served as a major in the Royal Artillery in World War II, and for his work in anti-aircraft duties in South Wales he was awarded the MBE in 1945.[3]
