Loews was a fantastic player for Leeds and especially Bradford. I always enjoyed watching him play for GB. Seemed to have more gusto for the internationals than Cunningham.
Never met him personally so no idea about his character.
I'll say this though, he may have been a decent hooker but he was no Mick Shaw.
Off the pitch Jimmy Lowes is a very quiet and friendly person which was obviously very opposite to what he was like when he played. A lot of players are totally different to how they present themselves on the rugby field.
