- Kenneth Godfrey "Kenny" Morgans is a former Welsh footballer. He signed for Manchester United on leaving school in the summer of 1955 and played on the youth team's right wing. During the 1957-58 season he won himself a fixed place in the first team, at the expense of the older and more experienced Johnny Berry, and suffered minor injuries in the Munich air disaster, when still only 18 years old. He was the youngest player involved in the crash. Morgans was found unconscious amongst the debris by two journalists five hours after the official search was called off. Although he made a full recovery following the crash, he never regained his form on the pitch, and left the club in 1961, having made 23 first-team appearances without scoring a goal. He later played in the lower divisions for Swansea Town and Newport County before retiring from football in 1967.
- Kenneth Godfrey Morgans er en tidligere walisisk fotballspiller. Han var høyreving for Manchester United på slutten av 1950-tallet, og var den yngste av spillerne som var involvert i München-ulykken. Morgans slapp fra flyulykken med bare lettere skader, men ble likevel aldri den samme spilleren han var før ulykken. Morgans var bare 18 år gammel da han etablerte seg på Uniteds førstelag mot slutten av 1957, og henviste veteranen Johnny Berry til benken. Han ble sett på som et kjempetalent, og en fremtidig walisisk landslagsmann, men klarte aldri å finne tilbake til gammel form etter flyulykken. Han spilte bare sporadisk etter ulykken, og fikk i 1961 gå gratis til andredivisjonsklubben Swansea. Heller ikke i Swansea klarte Morgans å etablere seg på laget, og etter tre sesonger med lite spilletid, dro han til fjerdedivisjonslaget Newport County, hvor han viste glimt av gammel storhet i tre sesonger, før han i 1967, bare 28 år gammel, valgte å legge opp som fotballspiller.
