My first season in grown-up football was 1969-70. He had been retired a good few years when I played against him. The match was somewhere over Ecclesfield way, and I thought it was Red Rose. Whoever it was were many leagues above us, and we regarded the 5-0 defeat as a triumph.Not sure Fred was playing for Red Rose in early 70's. He was approaching 50 by then, and Red Rose were still a top side locally having just made the leap from Sheffield Amateur League into the old Hatchard league (1st step on senior football ladder).
