Alan John Morley MBE (born 25 June 1950 in Bristol, England) is a former English rugby union player. He played a record number of 519 times for Bristol Rugby, scoring 384 tries, between 1968 and 1986.^[1] He holds the world record for the number of tries scored in first class rugby, at 479. He won 7 England caps and was selected for the 1974 Lions tour but didn't make the Test side, having to compete with J.J. Williams, Billy Steele and Andy Irvine.
