Prolific Scorer: Rowley ranks among the club's all-time leading goal-scorers, known for his versatility as both a center-forward and winger.
After his playing career, Rowley moved into management, including a player-manager role at Plymouth Argyle. His legacy as a goal-scoring icon remains strong in the annals of Manchester United history.
