After two matches, he lost his place to Alf Bishop but was recalled, as inside right in October and retained his place for the rest of the season.[7] Rowley soon developed a good relationship with centre-forward Bill Rawlings,[3] as the Saints reached second place in the division by the New Year. After that, the club's fortunes turned and they only managed a further four victories in the league.[7] In the FA Cup, however, five goals each from Rowley and Rawlings helped the Saints reach the semi-finals where they lost 2–1 to Arsenal of the First Division.[7][8] Rowley's form attracted interest from several larger clubs,[3] but he remained at The Dell. In 1927–28, he was a regular in the side until December when he lost his place to Charlie Petrie. Rowley was recalled to the side in March, playing at centre-forward, after Rawlings had been sold to Manchester United.[9] In the following season, with first Petrie and then Herbert Coates being preferred at inside-right, it was not until the end of October that Rowley was once again given a run in the team, this time playing at outside-right. After a few matches at centre-forward, he reverted to inside-right in December, retaining his place for the remainder of the season.[10] Rowley's best season for the Saints came in 1929–30, when he scored 25 goals from 25 appearances, including hat-tricks in successive matches against Chelsea and Nottingham Forest in September and four goals at Bradford City on 2 November,[11] thus becoming the first Southampton player to score four goals in an away game.[3] In February 1930, another Second Division club, Tottenham Hotspur made a bid of £3,750 for Rowley which the Southampton board found "irresistible".[3] His spell at Southampton was particularly prolific as he scored 52 goals in his 104 league appearances together with six goals in nine FA Cup matches.[3] He spent much of his time at White Hart Lane in the reserves[2] and remained at Tottenham until midway through the following season, having scored ten goals in 24 matches.[12] In December 1931, he was signed by Preston North End (also in the Second Division) for a fee of £5,000, with Ted Harper also making the same move.[2] In Rowley's first full season at Deepdale, Rowley's crosses helped Harper score 37 goals but after Harper was sold to Blackburn Rovers, injuries restricted Rowley's appearances. He was only able to play five times in 1933–34 as Preston gained promotion as runners-up. Rowley retired in the summer of 1934, and was never to play in the First Division.[2] International careerIn the years between 1929 and 1931, he won six caps for Ireland,[2] scoring two goals against Scotland and Wales. His international debut came in a British Home Championship match against Wales on 2 February 1929 with his first international goal coming three weeks later when he was one of the few Irish players to emerge with any credit from a 7–3 defeat by Scotland.[2] (Some sources credit Ireland's first goal to Rowley,[13] but the match report confirms that this was scored by Joe Bambrick.[14]) His finest international performance came on 1 February 1930, against Wales at Belfast's Celtic Park, when his passes helped Bambrick score a double hat-trick in a 7–0 victory.[15] International appearancesRowley made six appearances for Ireland in official international matches, as follows:[16]
Later careerIn July 1937, Rowley became a coach firstly with Lancashire AFA and later at RAF Uxbridge.[2] In April 1942, he was commissioned as an acting pilot officer,[18] with the rank made permanent in June.[19] In October 1942 he was promoted to flying officer[20] and in January 1946 to flight lieutenant.[21] In May 1955, he was transferred to reserve with the rank of squadron leader.[22] References1. ^{{cite book |title=Football League Players' Records 1888 to 1939|last=Joyce|first=Michael|year=2004 |publisher=Tony Brown |location=Nottingham|isbn=1-899468-67-6|page=228}} 2. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 {{cite web |url=http://nifootball.blogspot.com/2007/09/dick-rowley.html | title=Northern Ireland's Footballing Greats – Dick Rowley | accessdate=26 October 2012 | date=10 September 2007}} 3. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 {{cite book | title=The Alphabet of the Saints |last= Holley |first= Duncan|author2=Chalk, Gary|publisher= ACL & Polar Publishing |year=1992 |isbn=0-9514862-3-3|page=292}} 4. ^{{cite web |title=Exeter City 1 Swindon Town 2|url=http://www.swindon-town-fc.co.uk/MatchCentre.asp?MatchID=19260137|publisher=Swindon Town FC |accessdate=26 October 2012|date=5 April 1926}} 5. ^{{cite web |title=Dick Rowley's playing record for Swindon Town |url=http://www.swindon-town-fc.co.uk/PlayingRecord.asp?PersonID=ROWLEYRI&Season=1925-1926|publisher=Swindon Town FC|accessdate=26 October 2012}} 6. ^{{cite book | title=A Casual Affair – A History of the Casuals Football Club|last= Cavallini|first= Rob | publisher= Dog N Duck Publications |year=2009| isbn=0-9550496-2-8|pages=264–265}} 7. ^1 2 {{cite book | title=Saints – A complete record|last= Chalk|first= Gary|author2=Holley, Duncan |publisher= Breedon Books|year=1987|isbn= 0-907969-22-4|pages=76–77}} 8. ^{{cite book | title= The Complete Record of the FA Cup|last= Collett|first= Mike |year= 2003|publisher= Sports Books|isbn=1-899807-19-5|page=561}} 9. ^{{cite book | title=Saints – A complete record|last= |first= |publisher= |isbn= |pages=78–79}} 10. ^{{cite book | title=Saints – A complete record|last= |first= |publisher= |isbn= |pages=80–81}} 11. ^{{cite book | title=Saints – A complete record|last= |first= |publisher= |isbn= |pages=82–83}} 12. ^{{cite web |last=Duggan |first=Jim|title=Player appearances and goals|url=http://www.topspurs.com/thfc-fp-index.htm|work=Tottenham Hotspur |publisher=www.topspurs.com|accessdate=26 October 2012}} 13. ^{{cite web|title=Ireland 3 Scotland 7|url=http://www.londonhearts.com/scotland/games/19290223.html|publisher=London Hearts|accessdate=26 October 2012|date=23 February 1929}} 14. ^{{cite web|title=Scots Take Game in Hand |url=http://www.londonhearts.com/scores/images/1929/1929022306.htm|work=Ireland 3 Scotland 7 |publisher=www.londonhearts.com|accessdate=26 October 2012|date=23 February 1929}} 15. ^{{cite web|last=Peake|first=Robin|title=No.1 Northern Ireland 7 Wales 0|url=http://robinpeake.wordpress.com/2007/02/01/ten-greatest-matches-no-1-northern-ireland-7-wales-0/|work=Ten Greatest matches|accessdate=27 October 2012|date=1 February 2007}} 16. ^{{cite web|title=Richard William Morris Rowley |url=http://eu-football.info/_player.php?id=18095 |work=International career details|publisher=eu-football.info|accessdate=26 October 2012}} 17. ^Ireland score first 18. ^{{London Gazette|issue=35580|page=2382|date= 2 June 1942 }} 19. ^{{London Gazette|issue=35615|page=2883|date= 30 June 1942 }} 20. ^{{London Gazette|issue=35891|page=657|supp=y|date= 5 February 1943}} 21. ^{{London Gazette |issue=37460 |page=860|supp=y|date= 8 February 1946}} 22. ^{{London Gazette |issue=40473|page=2701|supp=y|date= 10 May 1955}} External links
