Robert (Bobby) Cowell was born in Trindon Grange on 5th December, 1922. He was a one-club player whose loyalty, dedication and ability served United for thirteen-years until his career was prematurely ended by injury. Bobby made over 400 appearances in his thirteen years at the club and was one of the three players who played in all three Cup wins in the 1950's.

Tenacious and hard-working, a player for the full ninety-minutes, his enthusiasm for the game rubbed off on the other members of the team. Bobby was totally dedicated and Jackie Milburn revealed that he cried with anger and frustration when the team lost.
His fearlessness and speed into the tackle made him a difficult player to pass, although it was once said he was not always happy with the winger who persisted on going through on the inside.
Bobby was fast and audacious and loved coming down the field to have a go with his speed in recovery ensuring he was rarely in trouble. He had an ambition to score a goal for Newcastle, but only managed one in a friendly match. The rest of the team couldn't catch him to shake hands as he got so excited.
