Keith Bowen

[sleekerslee]

Met Keith Bowen today. He's an accountant these days. Was surprised when he introduced him self and i recognised him. He said he never got going at Brentford and went to colchester in the end. He said Gary Roberts wouldn't cross the ball or pass and was a greedy so and so. He also said Fred Callaghan wasn't from the Arsene Wenger school of man management lol He wished the club well and like to see us do well.

He was dreadful. Roberts probably didn't give the ball to him for a reason. I liked Fred Callaghans days - we had a team that were fun to watch. Thanks for the kind words Keith.

I hope he's better at accountancy than he was at football. One step up from the great Murray Jones

 

[absenteebee]

i'm surprised he didn't just say "nah, must be another keith bowen mate," to avoid embarrassment.

He scored a very nice goal at Swindon, must of been all 40yds out, we won 3-0

Would almost certainly have made it into the worst ever Brentford XI, then Murray Jones and Onion Bhaji turned up.

Might just make it onto the bench.

Seen much worse than Keith as his record below shows. Although i do hold him partly responsible for Tony Mahoney's broken leg as it was Mr Bowen who equalised at the death in that Swindon cup tie.

Northampton Town - 76 appearances - 24 goals
Brentford - 51 appearances - 9 goals
Colchester United - 116 appearances - 38 goals

His career was sadly cut short by a car crash in 1986.

He certainly suffered from over-expectation; I remember being quite excited when he arrived with such a good record. He just seemed to be a bit lightweight and lost.

Bowen got the first that day - Gasping got the late equaliser and looked yards offside.

So it's the lino's fault then?

That reads as though we got the worst of him. At the other 2 clubs he got a goal approx every 3.1 games, for us every 5.7. If I remember rightly, at times we alternated between him and Steve Phillips as the target man for long balls upfield, so we may not have made best use of him, but he'd still be near my worst Bees team, if I limited it to those who'd made 50+ appearances

Funnily enough he played a bit like an accountant, bless him

As far as i go he his Murray Jones strike partner in my all time low GP X1,there was possibly worse than him but he just never filled you with confidence.

Correct. We got a late corner and it came from that, in front of the Swindon fans too

 

[North London Bee]

Another one like Leon Constantine that looked useless at Brentford and excellent elsewhere

The team of 81/82 had quality in midfield (Hurlock, Bowles & Kamara) a quality player at the back (McNichol) but then a powder-puff attack in Johnson and Bowen
