Player Profile – Fred Fox
Frederick Samuel Fox was born in Highworth on 22 November 1898. Fox was a goalkeeper and started his career with his local club Swindon during the First World War.
After the end of the War, Fox joined Abertillery before joining Preston in the summer of 1921. He made 3 appearances for the Lilywhites in October 1921 but was not on the winning side once. His debut was in a 1-1 draw at Manchester United on 1 October; his next appearance was a week later with the same score at home to Liverpool. On 15 October was his a third and final appearance was in a return match at Liverpool with the home side winning 4-0.
He joined Gillingham in 1922and made 104 appearances for the club in three seasons. In 1925 Fox joined Millwall and made 28 appearances for the club in two seasons.
Fox then moved to Halifax for one season in 1927/28, making 17 appearances, before joining Brentford in 1928/29. Fox stayed with Brentford for three seasons and made 74 league appearances in total. Brentford finished second in 1929/30 and third in 1930/31 in Division Three South, but missed out on promotion as only the Champions were promoted to Division Two.
He received one England Cap in 1925 in a 3-2 victory over France, which saw him get injured in the match when he was barged into the net.
Fred Fox died in 1968.
