Alfred George Walter Bowers (born April 2, 1895 in Bethnal Green , † 1975 ) was an English football player who came to nine appearances in the Football League Third Division South during his professional career .

Career

Bowers played for a number of amateur clubs before joining East London- based Charlton Athletic in 1919 . Charlton was also an amateur club at that time and appeared in the 1919/20 season in the newly built The Valley stadium for the first time in the Kent League , in which some professional teams also played. In 1920 the club took professional status and joined the Southern League in the 1920/21 season , in which Bowers came to five missions. Charlton continued his march through the English league system and successfully competed for the 1921/22 season for admission to the Third Division South of the Football League . There Bowers had to wait several years before he came to five league appearances between September and November 1924.

In the summer of 1925, his affiliation with Charlton Athletic ended and Bowers played three league games with league rivals Bristol Rovers in the 1925/26 season . His last station in professional football was the London club Queens Park Rangers , for which he came in the 1926/27 season for another use in the third-rate southern season.
