David Howat
Half-back1889–1896
No individual photograph is known to survive for David Howat; see the note on the players index for why we use a plain card rather than guess.
Born in Preston, Howat took work in the Dial Square workshop at the Royal Arsenal factory and turned out at right-half for the better part of a decade. He's one of the last players from the club's amateur, pre-Football-League years for whom a real appearance record survives.
