Enrique Ramón Morris de Olea, also known as Henry Morris or Morris II (1874 – Unknown), was an Anglo-Filipino football pioneer and a prominent forward for FC Barcelona.[1][2][3] His brothers, Samuel and Miguel, also played football, and together with them, he was one of the first pioneers of football in Catalonia, participating in some of the first football matches of the city and playing for several experimental teams in the 1890s such as the Sociedad de Foot-Ball de Barcelona.[4]
In the early 1900s, he was a member of the Hispania AC side that won the 1900–01 Copa Macaya, which was the very first football competition played on the Iberian Peninsula,[5] and a member of the Barça side that reached the final of the 1902 Copa de la Coronación.[6]
