Career
In his youth, Lowe played for Stoke City before joining Portuguese Vale in June 1960. He made his debut in the Football League in the 1961-1962 season, making six appearances in the Third Division. Manager Norman Low was replaced by Freddie Steele in October 1962, and Lowe established himself in Steele"s first team plans with 40 league and cup appearances in the 1962-1963 campaign.
However he featured only three times in the 1963-1964 season, as Selwyn Whalley firmly established himself in the right-back slot.
Lowe played only twice in 1964-1965 as the "Valiants" were relegated into the Fourth Division under Jackie Mudie"s stewardship. He played 13 matches in the 1965-1966 season, and was handed a free transfer away from Vale Park in May 1966.
