Barcelona Cricket Club In the late 1880s, Morris became a member of the
British Club de Barcelona, just like his father. They played their first cricket matches in a field near the
Hippodrome of Can Tunis, which were disputed between the club's members and on some occasions against British sailors who docked in the
port of Barcelona, with the earliest example of this dating back to 28 August 1891. Morris also played against teams from
Sant Martí in 1893 and another from
Torelló in 1895, the
Torelló Foot-ball Association, the latter of which marked the first time that teams from two different cities played against each other in Catalonia. Either way, Samuel did play for
Team Anglès on 6 January 1900, featuring in midfield alongside Morrison (Enrique) after being ousted from his usual position by
John Hamilton, a Scottish goalkeeper from
Escocès FC who had been called up to cover the losses of Team Anglès. and the second in May of 1902, when they reinforced FC Barcelona during its participation in the
Copa de la Coronación (predecessor of
Copa del Rey). This was only his second match for the club, but also his last. After this parenthesis with Barça, the Morris brothers continued to play at Hispania AC until 1903, when the club was dissolved for lack of players, but while Enrique and Miguel then joined FC Barcelona permanently, Samuel decided to retire due to his already advanced age. In fact, in the
Los Deportes issue of 26 January 1902, the
sports journalist Alberto Serra described him as "one of the oldest players in this capital". On 24 September 1903, he played in a test match between two "Barcelona teams" that was meant to decide who would integrate the first selection of the Catalonia national team the following year. He was also described as "perhaps the best goalkeeper in Spain" and as a "Great runner of 100 meters".
Later career Also considered one of the best football referees of the time, in 1909 he received a distinction from the
Catalan Football Federation. In 1906 he founded the
Sociedad de Sport Vasco de Barcelona with his friend Enrique Barrié, the father of his former teammate
Jorge Barrié. During the years 1913 and 1914, an attempt was made to bet on cricket in Barcelona, and as a result, FC Barcelona created the cricket section and Samuel was one of the players. ==Personal life==
