Wilf Low

Wilf Low

Wilfred "Wilf" Lawson Low (born Aberdeen 1884; died Newcastle 1933) was a footballer who played as a centre-half for Aberdeen and Newcastle United.

Low was nicknamed the "Laughing Cavalier", although opposition forwards may have disagreed with this as he was a typical hard defender of that time. He played 366 games for Newcastle scoring 8 goals. He also played for the Scotland national team, winning 5 caps between 1911 and 1920.

Low remained with Newcastle after his playing retirement, firstly as a coach for the Swifts junior side, then latterly as the club's groundsman. He was killed in 1933 when a car knocked him over.

His brother, Harold, and son, Norman were also professional footballers.
