Lester Morgan Suazo (2 May 1976 – 1 November 2002) was a Costa Rican professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper.
Club career
Born in Santa Cruz de Guanacaste,[1] Margan tried his luck as a sweeper and center-forward before turning to the role of goalkeeper. He made his professional debut for Guanacasteca on 10 September 1995 against Belén and joined Herediano for the 1996–97 season.[1] He had been unlucky with injuries, which often often struck him just as his international career seemed set to take off. He had a brief season in Mexico with Venados de Yucatán[1] before returning to Costa Rica.
International career
Morgan was a member of the Costa Rican squad in the 1995 World Youth Cup in Qatar.[2]
Morgan made six appearances for the senior Costa Rica national football team and was a participant at the 2002 FIFA World Cup in South Korea and Japan.[2] He made his debut for the Tico's in a friendly against Jamaica on 24 February 1999[3] and collected his sixth and final cap against Colombia just before the 2002 World Cup Finals.
Death
Morgan committed suicide on 31 October 2002 in San Rafael de Heredia.
