Jack Fowler (3 December 1899 – 26 February 1975)[1] was a Welsh professional footballer, who played as a centre forward for Plymouth Argyle,[2] Swansea Town and Clapton Orient as well as making six appearances for his country.
Fowler then took over as the recognised centre-forward and, despite making only 22 league appearances, he was the club's top scorer for the season with 17 goals,[6] including a hat-trick in a 5–1 victory over local rivals Exeter City on 30 March 1923.
In the summer of 1923, Plymouth signed Percy Cherrett from Portsmouth[7] and Fowler once again found himself second choice at centre forward, making only ten league appearances (scoring seven goals) in the 1923–24 season.
[11] Described as a "player of strength and brain",[1] Fowler was a shrewd and determined leader of the Swansea forward line and continued his goal-scoring exploits in the Second Division, scoring 28 goals for the second consecutive year.
At Orient, Fowler had dropped to the Third Division South, where he made a total of 80 appearances, but was unable to replicate his goal-scoring exploits with Swansea, managing only 15 goals in two seasons, before injury brought his career to a close.
