Fred Brindle Rest In Peace

Posted 16th October 2021

Sadly earlier this week we lost Fred Brindle . Fred was a stalwart of the football club and played over 400 times . He was ever present in the lower sides and would regularly drive the younger members to & from matches. He popped up one day after playing in the insurance league (he worked at Lloyds of London)  & decided to come and play at Old Wilsonians as he wsas good friends with Ian Rayworth & Terry Adams . Fred & Ian became a fixture in the lower sides , advising and nuturing the younger players in the Wilsonians way . He was a fullback who played hard , but fair , he was also a great advocate of team bonding after the game with a pint or two .  

Fred was also a keen golfer & would regularly attend the OW Golf Society day , and as always it was lovely to see him 

He was alway immaculately turned out , a quiet man , with a lovely sense of humour & always had time for you . He will be sorely missed by those who knew him . Our thougths go out to Diane & family .

Rest in Peace
