David J. Morris (1888 – after 1911) was an English professional footballer who played in the Football League for Birmingham.[1] Born in Walsall, Staffordshire, Morris joined Birmingham in 1910,[2] and made his debut in the Second Division on 9 September 1911 in a 2–1 defeat at Fulham. Morris played on the losing side in the next two games,[3] looked out of his depth, and returned to non-league football in 1912.[2]
