He had played in the last match before the disaster, the European Cup quarter-final second leg against Red Star Belgrade, and had so far made 10 senior career appearances for United.Although he made a full physical recovery following the crash and was back in the side before the end of the season, playing in further nine games, he appeared to be a shadow of his former self on the pitch and made just four appearances for the first team over the next three seasons.He then returned to Wales and had spells with Swansea Town, Newport County & Barry Town before becoming player/manager at non-League Cwmbran Town in 1968.After football he was a pub landlord and finished his working days as a ship's chandler, although he made various media contributions in the final years of his life Ken Morgans died in Swansea 18 November 2012.
