Henry Forbes Low (15 August 1882 – 26 September 1920) was a Scottish professional footballer who made over 200 appearances in the Football League for Sunderland as a left half. He also played in the Scottish League for Aberdeen.

Club career

A left half,[1] Low began his senior career with newly-formed Northern League club Aberdeen and was a part of their rise from the Northern League to Scottish League Division One during the early years of the 20th century.[2][3] He made 114 appearances and scored 30 goals during four seasons at Pittodrie and transferred to English First Division club Sunderland for a £400 fee in May 1907.[2] Low played eight seasons for Sunderland, before the suspension of league football in 1915 (following the outbreak of the First World War) ended his competitive career with the club.[2] During his time at Roker Park, Low made 228 appearances, scored 38 goals and was a part of the squad which won the 1912–13 First Division championship and reached the 1913 FA Cup Final.[1][2]

International career

Low played in the Home Scots v Anglo-Scots annual international trial matches in 1909 and 1911 and was called up by Scotland for a friendly match versus Ireland in 1913,[4] but he pulled out of the squad in order to play in a 1912–13 FA Cup semi-final.[5] He was not capped at international level.[5]

Personal life

Low was the elder brother of footballer Wilf Low and the uncle of Willie Low and Norman Low.[6][7][8] In February 1917, <templatestyles src="Fraction/styles.css" />2+1⁄2 years after the outbreak of the First World War, Low enlisted in the Royal Navy as an able seaman.[8] He served on HMS Dido and was honourably discharged after being wounded.[8] Low became the landlord of a pub in Monkwearmouth in 1919 and died of pneumonia in September 1920.[8] He was married with four children.[8]
