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 lifeLow'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] Career statisticsClub
