Tony Lowery
Anthony William "Tony" Lowery (born 6 July 1961) is a retired English footballer who spent most of his professional career as a midfielder at Mansfield Town. Lowery, a native of Wallsend, Northumberland, began his professional career in March 1981, when he was signed by West Bromwich Albion from non-league Ashington. However, he only played once for the Baggies, and also had a short loan spell at neighbours Walsall. In April 1983, he was allowed to join Mansfield Town on a free transfer, and he made his debut for the Stags on 7 May 1983 against Peterborough United. Through the next five years, Lowery was almost ever-present in Mansfield's lineup, playing 40 or more league matches each season. He was noted for his work-rate and consistency in central midfield, and was a key member of the side that won promotion from Division Four in 1985-86, and won the Freight Rover Trophy in 1987. By 1988-89, injuries had started to take their toll, and Lowery only played sporadically in his final seasons at Field Mill. In September 1990, he was loaned to Walsall for the second time in his career, and in the summer of 1991, Mansfield manager George Foster decided not to offer Lowery a new contract. When he left the club, Lowery had played 317 first-team games for Mansfield and scored 27 goals. After leaving Mansfield, Lowery had a short spell at Carlisle United before returning to his native North East, where he joined non-league Gateshead, and later became assistant manager at Blyth Spartans. Since 1995, he has been manager of Bedlington Terriers, alongside Keith Perry. He left the club in May 2012.
