Career

Louwers played in the competition team of FC Eindhoven from 1949 , which at the time was still running under the name EVV Eindhoven . With the club he won the championship in 1954, two years later he was one of the founding members of the Eredivisie with the club . At the end of the debut season he rose with the team in the second division, but initially remained loyal to the club. In 1960 he moved back to the top division for local rivals PSV Eindhoven . After the runner-up championship in 1962 behind Feijenoord Rotterdam , he won the second championship title of his career in the following season. Nevertheless, he left the club and joined the then third division club Roda Kerkrade , for whom he played three seasons. He then ended his career at FC Eindhoven.

After the end of his career, he and his brother Tiny Louwers built up a wholesale business that made him a millionaire. He later moved to Neerpelt , Belgium , where he became a passionate golfer.
