I wrote to Henry a couple of months ago-only had one sticker which I needed for my collection and sent a postcard as well.Whilst he didn't sign my postcard he sent back a nice letter instead apologising for the delay.

Henry "Harry" Mowbray began with Cowdenbeath in 1966. After one season , he moved to Blackpool, signing for them on his 20th birthday. He made his debut on August 29, 1967, in a 1–1 draw at Ipswich Town, replacing the injured Bill Bentley. He went on to make a further 26 league appearances in the 1967–68 campaign, playing alongside Jimmy Armfield.

After sitting out the majority of the 1968–69 season (with Bill Bentley taking over his left-back role), he made only twelve league starts.

The following season, 1969–70, saw him edge back in front of Bentley. He made 26 league appearances that season and also in 1970–71. He scored his first goal for the club in their FA Cup third-round win against West Ham at Bloomfield Road on January 2, 1971.

At the end of the season, after Blackpool had been relegated to Division Two, new manager Bob Stokoe made it clear that he was going to favour Bentley at left-back, and so Mowbray departed the seaside.

Jimmy Armfield, now manager at Bolton Wanderers, re-signed the Scot, and he made 31 league appearances in two years.

In 1973, Mowbray returned to Scotland to sign for St. Mirren for the 1973–74 season. He then played in Australia for a few years, bringing his playing career to a close.
