Life and career

Howe was born in West Ham, which is now part of London. He began his football career with West Ham United, but never played first-team football for the club, and moved on to Darlington in 1951. After three years and 89 appearances in the Third Division North,[2] he spent four seasons in the Southern Section with Southend United, for whom he played 108 senior matches (101 in league competition).[6] He finished his career in the Football League with a season at Aldershot in Division Four.[2] Howe signed for Southern League club Bedford Town in 1959, and played regularly for his first season with the club, but injuries restricted his second season to just six senior matches, the last of which was on 3 November 1960.[3]
