Rowan married Louisa Marion Newby in 1915; and they had a son, Percy, born on 1 May 1916.[1][2]
Boxingedit
Rowe, who boxed under the name of Paddy Rowan, was the Victorian amateur champion lightweight boxer, who turned professional in 1910.[3] He was still boxing when in the First AIF.[4]
Footballedit
Although his real name was Percy Rowe he was known at Collingwood as Paddy Rowan, an alias that had originated from his boxing career. The reason for the name change was that he could not play for Collingwod in 1911 because he had already played with the South Bendigo Football Club in the Bendigo Football League that year.
To allow Rowan to play, Collingwood registered him under the assumed name of Paddy Rowan.[5]
Coincidentally another individual, unrelated to Rowe/Rowan, but also named Percy Rowe (I896-1976) played 96 games for Collingwood during the 1920s. Additionally, Rowan's son, also Percy Rowe, played for the Collingwood Second XVIII.[6]
Rowan played in two losing Grand Finals, the first from the back pocket in his debut season; the other as a half forward flanker in 1915. Rowan, who was in training with the army while at Collingwood, had completed a 10 mile route march on the morning of the 1915 Grand Final but still took the field.
Paddy Rowan was one of the outstanding players of his time. I feel sure that had he been spared to return from the war, he would have gone down in football as one of the game's greatest exponents. There was no phase of it in which he did not excel. A strong, virile follower, he could, with equal effectiveness, play centre half-back or centre half-forward. Paddy possessed the determination and courage of two men. (Former Collingwood teammate Dan Minogue, in 1937.)[7]
