Whatever Happened To... Bobby Bowry
Much like his passing, Bowry's playing career went all but forwards after leaving the U's at the end of the 2004-05 season.
He dropped into non-league football joining Gravesend & Northfleet (now Ebbsfleet) in July 2005 on a one-year deal. He was released at the end of his contract and then joined Bromley as player-coach. After two seasons at Bromley, he quit when the club was put up for sale, and he decided to hang up his boots.
He is now believed to be a football agent, with Cody McDonald (Coventry City) and Glenn Murray (Crystal Palace) on his books, though he does not appear on the FA or FIFA registered agents lists.
Clubs since leaving the U's: Gravesend & Northfleet, Bromley.

Who would have predicted earlier in the season that this fixture would have been been a play off place battle, but such is the Championship that a couple of wins can take you right up the table.
The usual Thursday night fill of completely adult and serious punditry of Southampton FC and the wider world sees Adam ,Graham and Steve dissecting Southampton's surprise (for us) win at The London Stadium. But that is not all, a look forward to a match day tour and hospitality at this Saturday's last home game for three weeks (against Queens Park Rangers).
A quick look at some of the action from our previous encounters with QPR, were you at any of the games and what are you memories, post them in the comments section below.
Reports on the continent are saying that there is plenty of interest from club's in Germany & Austria in Tonda Eckert, so it is not surprising that they are also claiming that the club is keen to get him to sign a new deal.
When Saints were handed a 4 point deduction for this season in the aftermath of Spygate, many believed that this would spell the end of any hope of automatic promotion this season, however this might well turn out not to be the case.
Saints went out and made a statement by beating the Hammers, however although this was a battling performance, it was a great one, but it was all about the result, not the way in which it was achieved.
Away games are out of reach for Adam at the moment (but in the pipeline) and if we had been given a home match for Saturday 24th October 2026, he may not have attended the event he created.

In Friday's press conference Tonda Eckert admitted that Cyle Larin & Flynn Downes are both doubts for the starting line up, but he also suggested that they could play some part in the game.
The Hammers start the weekend in 2nd position in the Championship and for many people are favourites for promotion, but Saints have a good record against teams in the top echelons of the division and can go there with confidence.
