Raymond "Ray" Owen (birth registered third ¼ 1940[1] – 5 February 2006) was an English professional rugby league footballer who played in the 1960s, and a chairman of the 1980s and 1990s. He played at club level for Widnes and Wakefield Trinity, as a scrum-half, and he was chairman for Widnes from 1987 to 1991.
Ray Owen made his début for Wakefield Trinity during August 1964, and he played his last match for Wakefield Trinity during the 1968–69 season
, he appears to have scored no drop-goals (or field-goals as they are currently known in Australasia), but prior to the 1974–75 season all goals, whether; conversions, penalties, or drop-goals, scored 2-points, consequently prior to this date drop-goals were often not explicitly documented, therefore '0' drop-goals may indicate drop-goals not recorded, rather than no drop-goals scored.[citation needed]
Rugby league career
Ray Owen was chairman of Widnes during the glory years of the 1980s, and was still involved, as chairman of the Widnes Past Players Association, up to his death.
