Frederick R. Jones (1910 – after 1936) was an English professional footballer who played in the Football League for Birmingham.[2]
Jones was born in Halesowen, then part of Worcestershire. An inside forward, he played local football for Halesowen Town and had a trial with Huddersfield Town before joining Leeds United. Jones moved on to Birmingham in 1934 without playing first-team football for Leeds.[2] Described as "an enterprising forward, not afraid to make an unorthodox move when he thinks the occasion warrants it",[1] Jones made his debut – the only game he played for Birmingham's first team – in the First Division on 1 September 1934, as a late replacement for the injured Joe Bradford in a game at Stoke City which Birmingham lost 2–0.[1][3][A] Jones later played for Cheltenham Town.[2]
Notes
A. ^ Sources including Michael Joyce's Football League Players' Records 1888 to 1939[4] appear to attribute this game to Wilson Jones, who had not joined Birmingham by then.[2]
