Frederick R. Jones (1910 – after 1936) was an English professional footballer who played in the Football League for Birmingham.[1]
Jones was born in 1910 in Halesowen, which was 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.[1] Described as "an enterprising forward, not afraid to make an unorthodox move when he thinks the occasion warrants it",[2] 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.[2] [3] Jones later played for Cheltenham Town.[1]
