Howard Fowler Cricketer
Howard Fowler (20 October 1857 – 6 May 1934) was an English sportsman who played international rugby union for England and first-class cricket. Fowler attended Clifton College as a teenager and captained their cricket XI in 1876, before going to Oxford University, where he studied law. He played 15 first-class matches, as a wicket-keeper, for the university's cricket team and in both 1878 and 1879 was captain of the Oxford University RFC. A forward, he played club rugby for Walthamstow and represented England in three Tests. He appeared against Scotland in 1878 and played against both Wales and Scotland in 1881. He also played cricket for Essex, from 1877 to 1889, but they didn't participate in any first-class fixtures. His two other first-class matches were instead for the Marylebone Cricket Club and Old Oxonians. Two brother, Bill Fowler and Gerald Fowler, both played cricket for Somerset.
