Aled Watkin Owen (born January 7, 1934 in Brynteg ) is a former Welsh football player . As a winger he was at Ipswich Town in the squad of the English championship team from 1962 , in which he did not get beyond the role of the supplementary player.
Athletic career
Owen's professional football career began in 1953 at the age of 19 at Tottenham Hotspur in London. At this time, his later Ipswich coach Alf Ramsey was still his teammate, with Owen in Tottenham until the end of the 1957/58 season only once in the professional game of the "Spurs" - the use on April 19, 1954 ended on the penultimate Matchday with a hefty 2-6 defeat at Preston North End . When Owen moved to Ipswich Town in July 1958 , Ramsey had taken on the coaching role there and led the club to the second highest division the year before.
The Welshman, who mostly acted as the right winger, stayed at Ipswich for five years. He only benefited from a minor role with a total of 30 league appearances. He accompanied the club in 1961 on promotion to the top division . When Ipswich then completely surprisingly won the English championship as a first division climber in the 1961/62 season , Owen could only contribute insufficiently. Only in the game on December 26, 1961 against Leicester City (1-0), he represented Jimmy Leadbetter . His last appearance for Ipswich was in the FA Cup against Luton Town that same season , but it was another year before Owen returned to his homeland in Wales. There he ended his active career at Wrexham FC and later in the amateur area at Holyhead Town .
