John Fowler (17 October 1933–28 March 1976) was a Scottish professional footballer, who played for Colchester United. ==Career== Fowler was born in Leith. In his early days he played for junior side Bonnyrigg Rose Athletic, during which time he played for a Scotland amateur team against England at Middlesbrough. Fowler was one of three players brought down from Scotland to Colchester United,〔(Colchester United History: The 50s )〕 along with Sammy McLeod〔(Player Profile - Sammy McLeod )〕 and Bobby Hill〔(Player Profile - Bobby Hill )〕 from Easthouses Lily, by manager Benny Fenton in 1955. Astute purchases, all three gave lengthy service to the club. Fowler made his debut along with Hill on 20 August 1955 in a goalless draw away to Exeter City. Initially an inside left, he switched to left back later that season.〔(Player Profile - John Fowler )〕 In thirteen seasons at Layer Road Fowler made 442 appearances, including one as substitute, 21 FA Cup matches and 7 League Cup matches and scored five goals. Fowler still holds sixth place in Colchester's all-time list of long serving players and fifth on the League appearances list and made the number 3 shirt his own for the majority of his career, being an integral part of the promotion sides of 1962 and 1966. Between 1956–1963 Fowler missed only eight matches, becoming known as "Mr Reliable". He was an ever-present during the 1957–58, 1959–60, 1961–62 and 1962–63 seasons and only missed one game during 1960–61. Although he left the club at the end of the 1965–66 season, Fowler returned briefly for three games during 1967–68, his final appearance occurring on November 13, 1967 at home to Barrow. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「John Fowler (footballer, born 1933)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
