Henry Mowbray (RIP)

When Stan Mortensen was manager, he went up to Scotland and came back with Henry Mowbray, Tony Green, and Tommy Hutchison, spending approximately £16,000 between the three of them. Ah! that fourth goal against West Ham, Henry went charging up the left wing and slammed the ball home. He was a good'n.
RIP Henry.
 
RIP, H.

Those wonderful games he played in 50 odd years ago, in a great team, seem like yesterday. All of which makes the news so difficult to grasp.

When I think of those three players it evokes memories of having a kick about on Revoe Park with my mates when we noticed 3 guys walking
towards us Green ,Hutchinson, Mowbray,

They asked us can we have a kick about ( dreams do come true) Tony Green started his party tricks when somebody tripped him up.

I was standing next too Henry Mowbray when he said to me in a broad Scottish accent , trip me up son I would break your ****ing leg

A great character.

RIP Henry .
