Frederick Samuel "Freddie" Fox (22 November 1898 - 15 May 1968) was an English football goalkeeper.
He played for several clubs, including Gillingham (where he played over 100 Football League matches) and Brentford during the 1920s and 1930s,[2] and also gained one cap for England.[3]
In 1925 he was selected[1] to represent England against France. Following an earlier withdrawal by goalscorer Vivian Gibbins, England finished with nine men, but managed to hang on to win the game 3-2.[4]
Later in life, Fox served as a director at hometown club Swindon Town.[5]
