Miguel Samuel Morris Yrisarry, also known as Junior Morris or Morris III (20 August 1880 – 16 July 1951[1]), was an Anglo-Filipino of British descent who played football as a defender for Spanish club FC Barcelona between 1902 and 1909,[2] being a member of the Barça side that reached the final of the 1902 Copa de la Coronación.[3]

He closely followed the steps of his older stepbrothers, Samuel and Enrique, playing alongside them in Hispania AC, FC Barcelona, and Star FC.[4] He also appeared with them in the oldest photo of a football team in Spain in 1893, when he was still a boy of 13.[4]
