Bio
Born in Mount Barker, South Australia, Harry Gower earned his place in the history books as a member of St Kilda's inaugural VFL squad. He was selected for the club's historic first league match against Collingwood at Victoria Park in Round 1, 1897, and retained his spot for the following week's clash against Fitzroy. Gower's senior career was brief, comprising only those first two rounds of the competition's foundation season as the Saints struggled to find a competitive lineup during a winless year. Despite his short tenure at the top level, his participation ensures his status as a foundation player for the club during the fledgling days of the Victorian Football League.
