Fred Emery (19 May 1900 – 1959) was an English-born footballer who played as a wing half in the Football League with Doncaster Rovers in the 1920s and 1930s.[1]
He was born in Lincoln and signed for Lincoln City but did not play a senior game for them, before having a brief spell with Bradford City, amounting to five senior games.[2]
In the 1924–25 season he made his debut for Doncaster Rovers and was to go on and play 439 senior games for them (scoring 32 goals) in a playing career that was to last until the 1935–36 season.[2] He holds the record for the most Football League appearances made for Doncaster.[3] In 1936 he was appointed manager at Doncaster, a position he held until the war.[4]
In July 1951, 11 years after leaving Doncaster, Emery was appointed as Carlisle United manager, replacing future Liverpool manager Bill Shankly who left Carlisle to join Grimsby Town. In a seven-year spell as Carlisle manager Emery never was able inspire the Brunton Park faithful like his predecessor did, but he was able to the keep the club in a stable mid-table position in the Third Division North despite being handicapped by limited resources. He left the club in April 1958.[5]
His brother Bob and nephew Tony were also footballers.[6]
