David "Dave" Bowman (born 10 March 1964 in Tunbridge Wells, England) is a former Scottish professional footballer, who played for clubs including Heart of Midlothian and Dundee United. He represented Scotland six times and was selected for their squad at the 1992 European Championships. Since 2007 he has worked as a community coach at Dundee United.
Dave Bowman was born in Royal Tunbridge Wells, Kent, England on 10 March 1964. He is the son of Scottish footballer Andy Bowman, formerly of Chelsea and Heart of Midlothian (Hearts), who was playing for Tonbridge at the time of his son's birth. The family subsequently moved to Edinburgh, where Dave grew up. He played youth football for Salvesen Boys Club before signing for his father's former club, Hearts, in June 1980.
After starting his football career with Hearts, Bowman moved to Coventry City in 1984, where he first played alongside Jim McInally and with whom he transferred to Dundee United in the summer of 1986. Bowman was part of the United squad that reached the 1987 UEFA Cup Final. He also played in United's 1994 Scottish Cup Final success. Bowman is ranked number 10 on United's all-time appearance list.
Bowman spent the latter part of his playing career at Raith Rovers, Hong Kong club Yee Hope and finally Forfar Athletic, where he achieved the dubious honour of a Scottish record seven game suspension, imposed for swearing at the match officials.
