Player Profiles 20 of 28
20. Dave Lowery
| Full Name: | Dave Lowery |
| Playing Position (s): | All over |
| Playing Years at Selby: | 1988 to 1996 |
| Other teams: | 5th Team |
| Where are you now? | Guisborough |
| What did you enjoy about playing at Selby? | As a purely social player it was the off pitch activities rather the on pitch ones. Several tours including one that changed my life |
| What did playing rugby teach you? | Teamwork, camaraderie, and that Dave Bramley actually can't sing regardless of what he tells you |
| You need to take a road trip but must take 3 of your team mates with you. Who would they be? | Jonesy, Jack (The Leaping Salmon) Forrest, Pete Hair. We were immortals in Hannover!!! |
| Who would still come with you, without question? | Probably Jonesy |
| Who was the Selby dressing room joker? | Jonny Paterson |
| Favourite player you’ve watched at Selby: | Jonny Paterson..... danced like Astaire, hands faster than Gary Cooper in High Noon, and once delayed a game because all the players were laughing too much to scrum safely |
| Who would be first to the bar and last to leave? | Pete Hair |
| Why Selby RUFC? | Great club, with a great sense of tradition. Stars in Their Eyes |
| Best match you’ve played in? | Selfishly 4th team away at Bramley Sept 1993 when my Japanese travelling pal, whom I met backpacking in Portugal, got a game and scored a try. We lost by one point but he got the back page of the Selby Times and will dine it on it for the rest of his life I'm sure. |
| Most memorable moment: | Forcing Toby to bid for his own dessert in the Male Pudding Contest auction after he confessed to me in the toilet he bought it from M&S. A real Coup D'etat and one of my lifes highlights.... I'm sure everybody else knows now.... don't they....ooops |
| Funniest think you’ve seen on a rugby pitch: | As before Jonny Pat having all 30 on the pitch in stiches. Either that or Toby's kick off at RAF Bruggen on tour when he went flat on his arse |
| Who/what do you miss the most? | Tommy Burton.... legend |
| Favourite quote or words of wisdom: | Dougie Forsyth, who was still playing aged 62, would hand round an old stone bottle, marked "Horse Linament" full of a different noxious brew each week with the promise "It'll put hairs on yer chest". Tbh just mainly made 5th team players throw up in the tunnel. |
| Lockdown perception: | Count your blessings.. health is everything. |
