<\/p>\nA road leading to a rugby league ground has been renamed in honour of a club legend who died last year.<\/p>\n
Poorhouse Lane has now become Phil Lowe Way – named after the forward who played for Hull Kingston Rovers from 1967 to 1983.<\/p>\n
The road sign, outside the club’s home ground Craven Park, is in red and white to match the team’s colours.<\/p>\n
It was unveiled by his son, Andy Lowe, who said his father would be “really proud of what the club have done for him”.<\/p>\n
“This club was everything to him, absolutely everything,” he said.<\/p>\n
“It means a hell of a lot.”<\/p>\n
Lowe was a key member of the Robins’ side that won the title in 1978-79 and the Challenge Cup the following year.<\/p>\n
He was also the youngest member of the victorious Great Britain Ashes tour party to Australasia in 1970.<\/p>\n
Hundreds of fans turned up to Craven Park for his funeral in April 2024 following his death aged 74.<\/p>\n

His son said the renaming of the street meant his father would “be here for eternity now”.<\/p>\n
“Whenever I come to any of the games the first thing you see is my dad’s name,” he said.<\/p>\n
“It’s nice to let no one forget him and if you’re sending a letter to Hull KR now, you’ve got to send it to Phil Lowe.<\/p>\n
“That’s brilliant, isn’t it?”<\/p>\n
