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 367 games for Newcastle scoring 8 goals.[2] He also played for the Scotland national team, winning five caps between 1911 and 1920.[3]
Low remained with Newcastle after his playing retirement, firstly as a coach for the Swifts junior side, then latterly as the club's groundsman.[4]
Personal life
Low's brother Harry, nephew Willie[5][6] and son Norman were also professional footballers.[7] He served as a sergeant in the Royal Engineers at home during the First World War.[8] He was killed in 1933 when a car knocked him over.[7]
