Huw Morgan first appeared on Countdown on 14 February 1997, where he beat Stuart Jones 46 – 44 in the 35th heat of Series 34. He won 2 more games before losing to Steve Coberman, but his three wins were enough to earn him an invitation back for the final rounds as #6 seed. he 'gained his revenge' on Steve Coberman in the quarter-finals, beating him 54 – 28, before beating Paul Peters 61 – 45 in the semi-finals. In the final, Huw started very much as the underdog, as he was awaited by the #5 seed Harshan Lamabadusuriya, who had recorded the highest score of the series after a brillaint perfomance his quarter final, and then convincingly defeated the unbeaten #1 seed James Martin in his semi-final; however, in a commanding performance, it was Huw who romped home the winner to become the 34th champion of Countdown, surviving a late comeback by Harshan to win by 79 – 65. Huw returned for Championship of Champions IX, but was beaten in the first round by Simon Pryde.
Outside of Countdown, he was a dedicated Scrabble player.
Huw died on January 13, 2011, aged 54, after complications whilst being treated for swine flu.
