Bill Lawry
Lawry was born in the Melbourne suburb of Thornbury. He was given the names William Morris after the early Prime Minister of Australia, William Morris Hughes. His father Alfred played amateur cricket until the age of 51. Bill never saw his father play, who was aged 47 when Bill was born. Aged nine, he played competitive cricket for the first time with the Thornbury Presbyterian Church team. He spent three years there, as well as playing for Preston Technical School. When he was twelve, he entered Melbourne's district competition playing for Northcote's fourth team, working his way up to the First XI by the age of sixteen. At the time, he was apprenticed as a plumber and attending Preston Technical College. Lawry was selected for Victoria's Second XI at the age of seventeen. He made a duck against the South Australians and did not see any further action for the Seconds for the rest of the summer of 1954–55. The following season, Lawry was recalled to the Seconds and scored 183 against South Australia.
Bill Morris (rugby union player born 1941)
Morris gained his first cap for Wales in the fixture against Scotland in Murrayfield as part of the 1965 Five Nations Championship. He was brought in alongside Price and the result was a narrow 14-12 win to Wales. Although this was Morris' only match of the Championship, Wales had already beaten England, and went on to defeat Ireland, making Morris part of a Triple Crown winning side. His second and final international cap was in the 1966 Championship in Ireland. With Wales clinging on to a narrow victory, Morris, in the final seconds inexplicably threw the ball into touch awarding Ireland a penalty kick which could draw the game. Fortunately for Morris, a strong wind saw French kicker Claude Lacaze's effort swept away from the post to give Wales the match. Whether his poor final minute decision was a factor is unknown, but Morris was not selected for Wales again.
