HughW Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 I know it's a long time ago, but, does anyone remember or have second hand reminiscences of Frank, (father of Redfern Froggatt). He played in the 1920's and captained the promotion winning side in 25/26. I am asking because as part of my research into Walkley Cemetery I have found his grave and I am laways looking for stories to tell on our regular tours.

CHAIRBOY Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 Keith Farnsworth's "A Complete Record 1867 to 1987" - "Started his career with Rose Athletic but Wednesday signed him from Denaby United. In 1925-26 he became the first Sheffield-born player to captain the Owls since Tommy Crawshaw and led the Owls to the Second Division Championship, something Redfern repeated in 1959. Frank did not live to see Redfern play, dying when his son was 18. From Wednesday, Frank later played for Chesterfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh in Walkley Sounds silly i know, but he wouldn't have anything to do with "Foggatt Bridge" would he ? only i have a lovely oil painting from Sheffield of the bridge.

CHAIRBOY Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 The definitive version could best come from Redfern's daughter, Sue, who is involved with Hallam FC. Sue M where are you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptChris Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 About 1976 I recall going out with Redferns niece when she was a Police Cadet - I believe she was called Liz Froggatt and thereafter she married an RAF guy. She told me she was related to Redfern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canaryback Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 I believe there was another Frank Froggat, cousin of Redfern, played for Portsmouth if I remember right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweatshopboy Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 I remember a jack Froggatt who played for Leicester City mid fifties, and I often wondered back then if he was related to Redfern. Have just googled Jack Froggatt and found he was Reds cousin, and that he played centre half at Portsmouth before Leicester with Jimmy Scoular and Jimmy Dickenson, anyone who remembers these players will I'm sure agree with me, this was a formidable half back line. Fond memories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
