9CT ROSE GOLD GRADUATED LINK ALBERT CHAIN with T bar and clip, 34cms (l) with 9ct rose gold medallion, S.F.A. 1903-4 R. Morris, 31.5gms grossAuctioneer's Note: believed to relate to Robert Morris, born Oswestry, 1875; died Chirk, 23 September 1926. Morris was a centre half with 6 caps: (Chirk) v England, Ireland 1900; v Ireland 1901; Scotland 1902; (Shrewsbury T) v England, Ireland 1903. Career: Chirk 1893-1902; Shrewsbury T 1902-07; Chirk 1907-09. 'Bob' Morris was said to be an excellent defender and good leader, somewhat surprisingly, never made it beyond the Birmingham and District League but was briefly on Manchester City’s books. A one-time Chirk captain, he was comfortable at left back or centre half and one writer called him “unapproachable”, adding “his defence of the ball was very uncommon”. Morris was strong in the air and was keen to go forward for corners and free kicks - an early exploiter of what is now known as the “set piece”. A careful player, he relied on his well-developed positional sense and was “entirely safe”. Morris, a brother to Jack and Charlie, captained Shrewsbury to a Shropshire Cup success in 1904 before returning to a Chirk club in decline. An official at Brynkinalt colliery, he was later chairman of the Chirk club.
