Albert Henry Bowtell (27 June 1887 – 11 July 1948) was an Australian rules footballer who played for the St Kilda Football Club in the Victorian Football League (VFL).[1]
Football
One of nine new players in the team, Bowtell played his only First XVIII match for St Kilda against Carlton, at Princes park, on 29 July 1911.
The other new players were: Roy Cazaly, Claude Crowl, Peter Donnelly, Alf Hammond, Otto Opelt, Rowley Smith, Tom Soutar, and Bill Ward — and, including that match, and ignoring Harrie Hattam (16 games), Bert Pierce (41 games), and Bill Woodcock (65 games), the very inexperienced team's remaining fifteen players had only played a total of 46 matches.
Death
He died at his Preston residence on 11 July 1948.[7]
