Southern United
In the 1905–06 season Fred Joined a new club called Southern United. The club was based in London, but has been lost in history with many people thinking that Fred actually played for Southend United. Southend formed a year later and played in the Southern League Division 2, just like Southern United had done the previous season. So it is easy to see why people have got it wrong. The Southern United story is a short but fascinating one that will feature in Fred Spiksley's biography - Flying Over an Olive Grove.
