Herbert Henry Gower (26 March 1899 – 23 August 1959), sometimes known as Nobby Gower, was an English amateur footballer and cricketer.[1] As a footballer, he made two appearances in the Football League for Brentford and then embarked on a 10-year career in amateur football. Gower later opened the batting and kept wicket for Hayes Cricket Club.
Gower worked for the Civil Service and lived in Central Avenue, Hayes until 1939.[2] Upon the outbreak of the Second World War that year, Gower's Civil Service department was relocated to Harrogate and he later settled there permanently. His son Phil was killed in an accident in 1943, while training with the Royal Navy Commandos in the New Forest.
