Morris managed IFK Göteborg between 1938 and 1941.

Morris was Jewish. Though he was observant of the faith, he played on Saturdays during his football career and only refused to play on high holidays. He was educated at the Jews' Free School in London and was a member of the Brady Street Boys' Club. He served in the Middlesex Regiment during the First World War. Morris was married to Edith and had a son, Jack and a daughter, Estelle, who died from polio in 1937 at the age of eight. Morris, Edith and Jack emigrated shortly afterwards to Gothenburg, Sweden, where Morris worked at the British Consulate. The outbreak of the Second World War in 1939 and the invasion of Norway by the Germans the following year saw Morris and his family remain in neutral Sweden until the end of the war. Through his job at the consulate, Morris helped escaped POWs return to the UK. The family emigrated to the United States after the war, with Harry and Edith working for the British Information Services in New York City. They retired to San Mateo, California, where Edith died in 1984, followed a year later by Harry.
