Fred Jones (footballer, born 1888)

Frederick Jones (25 December 1888 – 14 August 1945)[1] was an English professional footballer who played at inside-forward for various clubs in the 1900s and 1910s, spending most of his career with Notts County.

Jones was born in Newstead, Nottinghamshire on Christmas Day 1888 and, after playing club football in the nearby villages of Annesley and Sutton-in-Ashfield, he joined Notts County in 1907.

Described as "a burly, bustling inside-left",[2] Jones made his debut in the opening match of the 1914–15 season, scoring in a 3–3 draw against Luton Town.

Jones soon formed a "potent partnership"[2] with fellow forwards Sid Kimpton and Arthur Dominy, who was the leading scorer in the Southern League with 30 goals.

After making only one league appearance he played out his career with a trio of clubs in Wales, Wrexham, Pembroke Dock and Ebbw Vale.
