    Rugby league legend presented portrait honouring life’s legacy

    Wynnum-Manly local, Uncle Lionel Morgan – the first Indigenous man to represent Australia in rugby league, has been honoured with a portrait depicting his career painted by renowned artist Jandamarra Cadd.

    Mr Cadd was commissioned to produce the work by Anglicare Southern Queensland, to celebrate the ground-breaking achievements of Mr Morgan – who represented Australia at the 1960 World Cup in Great Britain several years before Indigenous Australians were given the right to vote or counted in the national census.

    Mr Morgan now lives at Anglicare’s EM Tooth Residential Aged Care home at Manly – not far from Wynnum-Manly Seagulls’ home ground Kougari Oval – where the Morgan family are club legends.
