Injuries finished him for us he never quite made legend status but he should have

RIP never had the fortune to see him at Everton but seen him (on telly) when he played for Birmingham City and even then he looked excellent.
RIP Fred.
What we would give for a goalscoring forward of his ilk now. (70 goals in 115 appearances)

Gutted to hear this news a prolific scorer for us which only injury stopped him playing for us.... he would have scored yesterday, with the chances provided RIP to Fred and his family - sad news indeed- a photo alongside Fulham's George Cohen - a fullback converted to a striker by Blacburn he scored so many times against us we had to sign him

So sorry to hear about Fred, one of my heroes, I remember when travelling to London for the 66 final when we heard Fred had been dropped by Catterick although he said it was because of injury, and we were gutted at the time but little did we know about this little fella who hardly any body knew at the time called Trebilcock who netted twice for the 3;2 victory over Sheffield Wednesday after coming back from 2;0 down. Happy memories, Rest In Peace Fred.

I was there, now that was something to celebrate.
Great buy from Rovers. remeber his playing so well. One of a long line of players fit for the number 9 shirt and what do we have now??????
.....none of the forwards currently at our club would’ve stopped their Bentley at a bust stop to give Fred a lift, yet not one was good enough to lace his boots.
A sad sign of the times.

I wonder what he's have fetched in his prime in today's market place?
Top Top money - my late father when Fred was at Blackburn, stated we have to get him, fed up of him scoring against us - record fee at that time - debut for us Hattrick - debut for England -Hattrick - he was a goal machine look at his record he was still our leading scorer in Europe untill the DM era
Only for his knee injury which into days medical technology maybe could have been sorted he would have had many seasons with him - the chant as a young boy - cried out "Pickering bang um in" and he obliged in most games a great all round centre foreward who started off as a full back at Blackburn Rovers!

Everton had some colossal players in the 60s but bad luck with some too: Kay (betting), Pickering (injury), even the Golden Vision I believe carried injuries to his feet a lot of the time.
