Frederick Bowden (November 1904 – after 1934), generally known as Frank Bowden, was an English professional footballer who played in the Football League for Birmingham and Coventry City.[1]
Bowden was born in the Kings Heath district of Birmingham. A pacy winger, he made his debut for Birmingham in the First Division on 26 December 1925 in a 2–1 defeat away at Tottenham Hotspur. This turned out to be his only first-team appearance for the club,[2] and he moved into non-league football in the Midlands. Bowden then spent time on West Ham United's books, without appearing in the Football League side,[1] and joined Coventry City, for whom he played 38 times in the Third Division South and scored eight goals.[3] He later signed for Chesterfield and for second spells with Coventry and West Ham, but played no more league football.[1]
