HARRY ROWLANDS

Goalkeeper Harry was signed from Aston Villa on amateur terms just before the 1930/31 season, he went on to become a member of the most successful Darwen side of all time . Harry's most forgetable or imfamous appearance was when he kept goal for Darwen against Arsenal at Highbury in the third round FA cup tie in 1932 which Darwen lost 11-1. Arsenals biggest ever cup win and their biggest ever win at Highbury, but dispite an injury he sustained to his face during the match he had a outstanding game and recieved a standing ovation at the end from the near 40,000 crowd. In 1932 Harry moved to Manchester United and according to Man united records he is the only goalkeeper ever to represent them and never concecd a goal. ( he played only one game against Liverpool before moving to Stockport County)
