Zeke Rowe was probably Bangor's most successful loan signing
of the 1990's, Zeke came to Bangor on loan as a trainee from
Chelsea. Zeke is famous for scoring a spectacular solo
goal for Bangor against Crusaders at
Clandeboye Park. Surely one of the finest goals ever scored
in the Irish League? He also scored for Bangor in their
famous 5-0 drubbing of Linfield at Windsor Park on a day when
every shot seemed to find the back of the net.
Zeke possessed an abundance of skill and pace
that was worthy of troubling even the most experienced defenders
in the Irish League. Zeke was at Chelsea for 4 years
and also had loan spells at Brighton and Barnet. He signed
for Peterborough in 1996 and Welling United in 1999.
Zeke joined Hinckley United of the Dr.Martens Premier
Division at the start of season 2002/03.
Unfortunately, in August 2002, Zeke was involved in a car
accident and received minor neck and back injuries. We are
assured that Zeke made a full recovery from his injuries.
Hinckley United had a disappointing start to the 2002/03 season,
and Zeke scored just one goal in seven games. Hinckley released
Zeke from his contract in November 2002.
UPDATE NOVEMBER 2006
Many thanks to Mark Flattley who contacted us to tell us that
Zeke Rowe is now playing for Hereward Athletic in the Peterborough
League.
