Family
Dave Howie was the brother of Bob Howie, who also played for Kirkcaldy and gained seven national caps, in the 1920s.[3]
Although he and his brother gained fourteen caps between them, their father, a grim farmer never watched them once, saying:
- "Rugby an' fermin' will no agree, an' A ken which'll pit mair money in yer pooch."[4]
