Frederick Taylor was an English professional footballer who played at inside-forward for various clubs in the period prior to the First World War.
Taylor was born at Halesowen, Worcestershire (now West Midlands) and started his professional football career in January 1910 with Stourbridge,[1] playing in the Birmingham & District League.
In the summer of 1910, he moved to Yorkshire to join Hull City of the Football League Second Division, where he spent a year in the reserves, failing to break into the first-team.
[1] Taylor made his debut for the "Saints" in the opening match of the season, playing at inside-right in a 2–2 draw with Northampton Town on 4 September.
Taylor found the pace at first-class level much faster than in non-league football[1] and after only one goal in eleven games, he lost his place to another new signing, Fred Turnbull.
