He married Harriett Hodgkins at the parish church of St. Paul in Deansgate, Bolton on 19 July 1909.

He also discovered Nat Lofthouse, a player generally regarded as the best the club has ever produced.
When World War II broke out, Foweraker worked for the club on a voluntary basis, but ill health forced him to retire in 1944.
