Frederick Roberts (9 October 1909 – January 1979) was an English professional footballer who played as a forward in the Football League for Birmingham[1] and Luton Town.[2]
Roberts was born in Greets Green, West Bromwich, Staffordshire. He signed for Birmingham in 1933,[3] and in his first season, 1933–34, was the club's top scorer, though with only eight goals in a struggling side.[4] The following season he moved to Luton Town where he remained until 1945,[3] making 180 appearances in the Football League and helping the club to the championship of the Third Division South in the 1936–37 season.[2] During the Second World War Roberts remained at Luton, but played wartime guest football for other clubs, including Watford.[5] After leaving Luton he had three seasons at Kettering Town. He died in Luton at the age of 69.[3]
