Bill Posted February 18, 2019 Report Share Posted February 18, 2019 Shame the Club didn't come out with anything about this, played about 100 games for us and scored over 50 odd goals, not bad considering he was a converted fullback from Blackburn Rovers. R I P. Fred. rubecula 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeO Posted February 18, 2019 Report Share Posted February 18, 2019 Just before my time but one thing strikes me; if he scored five goals in three England games why did he get no more caps? rubecula 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First touch wasn’t good enough! Joking aside, another Everton old boy gone RIP Fred. Best wishes to his family. rubecula 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah Mike 3 of them goals was in a 10 nil win over the USA. Plus he was up against some great strikers in the 60s, Geoff Hurst, Roger Hunt, and Jimmy Greaves to name just a few. Matt, I didn't see that and this Rubes thread is the first I heard or seen of it. rubecula 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
