About Graham Rowe

  • Graham Edward Rowe (born 28 August 1945 in Southport, Lancashire) is an English former professional footballer.
  • He played as a defender. Rowe began his career just up the Lancashire coast at Ron Suart's Blackpool in 1963.
  • He made his debut on 1 February 1963, in a draw at Wolves.
  • He went on to make a further ten league appearances in the 1963–64 season and scored one goal, in a 3–2 victory over Blackburn Rovers at Bloomfield Road on 30 March 1963. In 1964–65, Rowe was a regular in the defence, making 23 league appearances and scoring four goals.
  • The following season, 1965–66, saw him make limited appearances, just thirteen overall.
  • The same applied for 1966–67. In Stan Mortensen's first full season in the manager's hotseat, Rowe again only saw action for a quarter of the season.
  • He did score his first goal in two season, however, in a 2–1 win at Norwich City on 20 April 1968. Season 1968–69 saw Mortensen move Rowe into a forward position for part of the season.
  • It seemed to work, as he finished third-top scorer behind Alan Suddick and Ronnie Brown with six goals.
  • This included a hat-trick in a 6–0 whitewash of Bury at Bloomfield Road on 23 November 1968. In 1969–70, Rowe made just six league appearances.
  • He scored one goal in the League Cup, in a 3–1 second-round victory over Gillingham on 3 September 1969. Rowe's final season at Blackpool, 1970–71, saw him make five league appearances, partly because he joined Tranmere Rovers on loan during the season.
  • He scored in the League Cup again, this time in a 4–1 victory over Newport County on 9 September 1970. His final appearance for Blackpool occurred on 13 April 1971, in a draw at Stoke City. Rowe finished his career with Bolton Wanderers in 1972, making six appearances for the Trotters.
