He holds the record for the most goals in English league football, scoring 434 times for five clubs.
Rowley - the younger brother of Manchester United legend Jack Rowley - had an explosive left-foot shot.
He holds the club record for the most goals in a single season at both Leicester City and Shrewsbury, scoring 44 goals in 42 league matches at Leicester in 1956-57, and 38 goals in 43 games for Shrewsbury in 1958-59.

He struggled at The Hawthorns, and in 1948 was sold to Fulham, where his 19 goals helped the side to the second division title.
Within 12 months he was sold to Leicester, where he remained until 1958 when he became the player-manager at Shrewsbury in the newly-created fourth division.
In his first season he led Shrewsbury to promotion with 38 goals, and followed that up in division three, scoring 32, 28, 23 and 24 times over the next four seasons.
