| Quote: Rugby Raider "That is sad news.
Phil had a great RL career and was a very strong forward. I seem to remember him running in two tries in the infamous Good Friday Derby at The Boulevard in 1981, that gave Rovers victory.
Condolences to Phil’s family at this sad time.'"
Beat me to it. It's funny the first try of his I remembered was at the end of that game to win them the spoils. He sliced through the centre channel like a runaway train to score in Ryan Corner at the SE end of the Best Stand. He was a great forward big strong and very mobile he ran us ragged a time or two. I remember when he and Mal Reilly went to Manly arounds 1974 time and were a massive hit over there playing around 70 games before he returned to star again for Rovers. I went to the Gym at the hotel on the Marina in the early 90's where he was a regular and he kept himself fit well into the twilight of his life. But he was always pleased to talk rugby, loved Rovers and was active with them behind the scenes for years.
These things are bigger than prejudice and rivalry. as the City loses another legend.
R.I.P. Phil

| Absolutely hated Phil Lowe as a kid , He just trampled over anyone stood in his way in the derbies . Big with a good turn of speed , He would have been a star in the modern game also . Condolences to friends & family .

For those not old enough to remember he was quite simply one of the best players to come out of this city and one of the greatest second rowers to have played the game. He used to strike fear in me when he played against us!
Condolences to family and friends.'"
Whoops!

| Remember him as landlord of Quayside , when I worked at Waterfront. He'd always come across for a pint and a chat , when it wasn't busy and was a very knowledgeable guy on all things RL. A great player, held in the highest esteem by the Australians and probably not rated highly enough by the RL world, especially for his try scoring record. A legend of Hull, particularly the East side, and rightly so. RIP Big Phil Lowe.

cartoons/WB17.gif I've been on the internet and have already got a sense of the fans' passion for the club. They are very fanatical - Peter Gentle 12th September 2011.
Money doesn't talk it swears, Obscenity who really cares, Propaganda all is phony.
I'm the son and heir of a shyness which is criminally vulgar.
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way.
A man who lives in hell can still aspire to heaven.:cartoons/WB17.gif |

I'm always a touch wary in those situations, that some clowns will be disrespectful but, like you say, everyone was well behaved (apart from a few boos for Hudgell!!). Thought the tribute was very well done, a great send-off for a great RL player and son of the city, irrespective of which shirt he wore during his career.
