I noticed Bobby Owen sat on the front row of Alex's Franny Lee team photo and wondered if anyone had any idea where abouts he is living or working. Or where I might make contact with him.
He played for Bury 65/68, Man City 68/70, Carlisle 70/76 with loan periods during this time with us, Swansea, Workington and Donny.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Ralph.

Ralph, If you do track him down then I'll be sending the programme to him too. I'll have a look for him later.

#2 Joe, thanks for that. I apologise though, I had found that but as he is just R Owen with no middle name he is too hard to trace via the electoral roll as there are too many R Owens in Lancashire.
#£3 Alex, I promise to let you know if I have any luck mate.

Ralph, Does Bobby have a "Middle" name?
23-01-2011 1:16 PM
No, I can't find one Alex.
I was going to go down the Bury route as he has been there as a legend guest.
