James Fowler (born 26 October 1980 in Stirling) is a Scottish professional footballer currently playing for the first team of Kilmarnock in the Scottish Premier League.

Fowler, a graduate of the Kilmarnock youth setup and a twice capped under 21 Internationalist with Scotland, has played in a variety of different positions for the club, with the longest continual spell being spent at right back. This was not thought of as his best position by many fans, and a recent positional move to the centre of midfield has resulted in a notable improvement in form.

In February 2007, Fowler was rewarded for his development with a late call up to the Scotland B squad against Finland. He played the last 25 minutes in a 2-2 draw, the venue ironically being Rugby Park, his club's home ground.

[edit] Trivia

Fowler has been nicknamed 'Beckenfowler' by some Kilmarnock fans, after the German sweeper Franz Beckenbauer. Fowler must be one of the few players with a negative goal tally having scored 3 goals for Kilmarnock and four own goals against.
