John Snow
In 1972 Rowan wrote "The Umpire's Story" which was highly critical of the England team, particularly of Illingworth and Snow. It even queried, "Was John Snow actually grabbed by a spectator who objected to Snow flattening an Australian batsman?" regardless of photographic evidence to the contrary. John Snow in his autobiography "Cricket Rebel" devoted a whole chapter to "Bitter Rows with Umpire Rowan".
