Frederick William James "Fred" Whitlow (3 September 1904 – 6 January 1978) was an English professional footballer, who played in the Football League for Charlton Athletic and Exeter City. ==Early career in Barry== Born in Bristol on 3 September 1904, Frederick William James Whitlow's family eventually moved to Barry and made a home on Barry Island. Whitlow initially played for Whitmore Albions (one of the junior teams on Barry Island at the time), and was part of the Albions side that defeated the Barry Brooklands on 12 May 1922. Appropriately enough, Whitlow scored in the 2–1 win. Whitmore Albions had also been crowned the winners of the Barry & District League Division 2, and had made it to the Barry Cup Final, but were defeated by the powerful Division 1 side Cadoxton AFC. The 1922–23 season saw Southern League outfit Barry Town take a chance on the 17-year-old, and Whitlow played for Barry four times in Barry's Southern League campaign, as well as 15 times for the club's Welsh League side. His senior debut came on 9 December 1922 in the Welsh League match against Caerau. Whitlow's debut came on the back of the death of young Arthur Griffiths, who had died a couple of days earlier while working as a crane operator at Barry Docks. Despite breaking into the area's senior side, Whitlow returned to the local league for the 1923–24 season, and took up residence in the Barry YMCA team. Nevertheless, Whitlow was back on Barry's books for a second time for the 1924–25 season and fans only had to wait as long as 30 August to see him in action, when Whitlow scored the solitary Southern League goal that accounted for Ebbw Vale. Whitlow debut FA Cup goal came in a 1st Qualifying Round defeat of Cardiff Corinthians where he and Stanley Cowie scored a brace each in the 4–0 victory. Whitlow debut Welsh League goal came in February 1925 when Caerau Athletic were mauled 5–1. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fred Whitlow」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
