Background

Crowe was born in Young, New South Wales.

Playing career

Crowe played his entire career at the Knights. He played in the Knight's first premiership winning team in 1997, a game which has been described as one of the best grand finals on record. His career ended prematurely after a series of serious injuries, including a broken sternum in his final year (1998).[2]

Post playing

After his playing career finished, he went on to enjoy an off-field career with the club in a number of marketing and management roles. He is a republican, having been a member of the Australian Republican Movement's (ARM) NSW Committee in the lead-up to the 1999 republican referendum. He also led the Hunter Region branch of the ARM during that period.[3]
