==Club career==
===Wolverhampton Wanderers===
Flowers was born in [[Kenilworth, Warwickshire|Kenilworth]], [[Warwickshire]],<ref name=Hugman/> and began his career with [[Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C.|Wolverhampton Wanderers]] in 1984. He quickly broke into the first team, becoming their regular goalkeeper by his 18th birthday, but his breakthrough came at the bleakest time in the club's history, as the two seasons he spent there both ended in relegation (in [[1984–85 in English football|1984–85]]) to the Third Division and in [[1985–86 in English football|1985–86]] to the Fourth. After Wolves fell into the Fourth Division to complete a hat-trick of successive relegations, they had to sell Flowers as part of the effort to avoid bankruptcy.{{citation needed|date=September 2016}}

===Southampton===
Flowers joined First Division club [[Southampton F.C.|Southampton]] for £70,000 in June 1986.{{citation needed|date=September 2016}} He was understudy to [[Peter Shilton]] in [[1986–87 in English football|1986–87]], but managed nine league appearances (the first in a 5–1 defeat to [[Manchester United F.C.|Manchester United]] in mid September) and also played a further nine games on loan to Swindon Town in the Third Division.{{citation needed|date=September 2016}} He made another nine league appearances in [[1987–88 in English football|1987–88]] (by which time Shilton had joined [[Derby County F.C.|Derby County]]) and returned to Swindon for a five-match loan spell, before becoming Southampton's regular goalkeeper in the [[1989–90 in English football|1989–90 season]].{{citation needed|date=September 2016}} Within a couple of years of becoming Southampton's first choice goalkeeper, Flowers was regarded as one of the best goalkeepers in the English league and inevitable rumours of a transfer to a bigger club began.{{citation needed|date=September 2016}}

===Blackburn Rovers===
Flowers left Southampton on 4 November 1993 when a £2.4 million move to [[Blackburn Rovers]] made him the most expensive goalkeeper in Britain.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2018/10/10/tim-flowers-journey-england-duty-non-league-management-grassroots/|title=Tim Flowers' journey from England duty to non-league management: 'It is grassroots but it doesn't matter to me, it's football'|last=Field|first=Pippa|date=10 October 2018|work=The Telegraph|access-date=29 January 2019|issn=0307-1235}}</ref> His excellent goalkeeping was not quite enough to win Blackburn the [[Premier League]] title in the [[1993–94 FA Premier League]], but they did finish second to Manchester United, and went one better [[1994–95 Blackburn Rovers F.C. season|the following year]] when they won their first top division title since [[1913–14 in English football|1914]]. He remained at [[Ewood Park]] for another four seasons before Blackburn were relegated in 1999.

===Leicester City===

His final appearance for Leicester City was against Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux in May 2003. It was the final game of the season, and with Leicester 1–0 down, Flowers came on as a late substitute for [[Ian Walker (footballer)|Ian Walker]]. Leicester were awarded a late penalty, and despite shouts from the travelling Leicester fans for Flowers to take the penalty, and Flowers himself signalling to the bench, manager [[Micky Adams]] ignored the fans and ordered [[Trevor Benjamin]] to take it, who scored.<ref>{{cite news |first= Adrian| last= Milledge| url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/2003/may/05/match.wolverhamptonwanderersfootball| title=Wolves strike mood of hungry belief  |work=The Guardian |date=5 May 2003 |access-date=1 February 2018}}</ref>
