About Bob Rowell

Born 1939. Bob Rowell is a British rugby union player.

Robert Errington Rowell (born 29 August 1939) is an English retired rugby union player. His primary position was as a lock forward. He was capped twice by England; both times against Wales, the first on 18 January 1964 in a 6-6 draw in the 1964 Five Nations Championship at Twickenham, despite having never previously being so much as called up for a trial, and again a year later on 16 January 1965 in a 14–3 loss at the Cardiff Arms Park. He made 355 appearances for Leicester Tigers between 1962 and 1978; only Martin Johnson has played more times for Leicester at lock. He was Leicester captain for the 1976–1977 season, and president in 2003.
