Kenny Morgans - Telegraph Morgans had to be cut out of his new Italian suit by rescuers. He had suffered head injuries, and it was three days before he regained consciousness in hospital. "I woke up on the Sunday morning, with Albert Scanlon, Bobby Charlton and Ray Wood, and thought the other players would be in a different room," he later said. Then the professor of the hospital came round and told me of the players that had died. He returned to Britain by train, accompanied by the striker Dennis Viollet. Manchester United had been attempting to win its third league title in a row, but won only one league game after the disaster and finished ninth. They did, however, reach the FA Cup final, which they lost 2-0 to Bolton Wanderers; they also beat AC Milan at Old Trafford in the semi-finals of the European Cup, but lost 4-0 at the San Siro. After Munich, Morgans spent a week at home. He played several games in the FA Cup run but was not selected for the final, when he had been hoping to "play my heart out for the players that died." Instead he played a fortnight later in the Milan game at Old Trafford. "I played my heart out that night," Morgans recalled. I was man of the match against Milan. Kenneth Godfrey Morgans was born in Swansea on March 16 1939, and was signed by Manchester United on leaving school in 1955. Seen as a highly promising right-winger, he was appointed captain of the youth team and made his first team debut in December 1957 in a league match against Leicester City at Old Trafford which the home side won 4-0. "The first team wasn't clicking, so Matt Busby had made changes," Morgans said. He put Albert Scanlon on the left wing, me on the right. But following the crash Morgans appeared to lose his way: "I just sort of packed my career in - I just didn't want to play in the first team. I missed the boys that had died. I went home to Swansea - the boss thought it would help my career if I went back for a fresh start. But my heart wasn't in it. Having made only 23 first-team appearances, Morgans left United in 1961, going on to play for Swansea Town and Newport County. He retired from the game in 1967, and for 10 years made his living as a pub landlord. He later worked as a ship's chandler. He is survived by his wife, Stephanie, and their children. Kenny Morgans, born March 16 1939, died November 18 2012
