Philip Bower

Philip Bower

Born in St Neots in 1861, Philip had previously played for Luton Wanderers when he was surprisingly called up by the Town for a home FA Cup clash against Hotspur of Wimbledon in October 1886.

Playing at inside-right he received a kick to the stomach which necessitated him ‘being taken home and put to bed’. He sadly died from cancer in April 1887 and whether it was down to the kick received at Wimbledon was not reported.
