Another of the stalwarts, Mowen has been around since time began, but looks no older than the day he joined as his baby faced looks nicely wallpaper over the cracks of his advancing years. Blessed with a knack of looking retarded in every picture (see above and below..) old-timer Mowen was inducted to the WIFC Hall of fame in 2004, and had the honour of scoring WIFC’s only goal in the Gibbsy Testimonial match at the Vic in 2002, a free-kick blasted past Steve Sherwood. Time waits for no man, even Mowen, and he underwent surgery on a long-term achilles injury earlier this year. Unfortunately it appears to have been a success and Mowen is threatening a full recovery, much to the annoyance of all concerned.
