Morgan was born in Cardiff, and represented the United Kingdom at four consecutive Summer Olympics, starting in 1984 (Los Angeles, California); and at five consecutive Commonwealth Games, in 1982, 1986, 1990, 1994 and 1998, winning three medals—bronze, silver and gold.

In the aftermath of Great Britain's disastrous performance at the 1996 Summer Olympics, he was forced to sell his team kit to passers by on the street in order to pay off loans: something seen as the nadir of an already poor British performance.[1][2]
