Arthur William Fryatt (born June 17, 1905 in Matlock , † 1968 ) was an English football player .

Career

Fryatt played in the 1927/28 season for the Romford- based club Great Eastern , which competed in the Spartan League , an amateur league in the London area. In September 1927 he was defeated with the team in the final at the Ilford Hospital Shield Barking Town with 0: 5. As a result, Fryatt was left defender and team captain of league rivals Brentwood & Warley and was appointed multiple times for selection teams from Essex . In January 1931 he played in a selection game of the English amateur national team on the part of The Rest against England . The game ended in a 4-0 defeat, with West Ham United center-forward Viv Gibbins scoring a hat trick. Essex won the Southern Counties' Amateur Championship in 1931 , and Fryatt was awarded a badge by the Association in June 1931, although Fryatt was unable to participate in the final games after moving to the professional camp.

On March 12, 1931 Fryatt was part of a selection of the Football Association , which won against an association selection from Norfolk 6-2, while he formed the defensive with goalkeeper Cyril Spiers (Tottenham Hotspur) and Tom Wethersby (Crystal Palace). Two days later he was a test player for West Ham United in a friendly against Wolverhampton Wanderers . At the end of March 1931 he was signed by the capital city club and thus gave up his amateur status. He made his professional debut in the same month in front of 16,000 spectators in his native Upton Park on the occasion of a 1-0 defeat by Derby County , when he replaced the injured Reg Wade on the left-back position . Although he was involved in conceding the goal, the assessment in Athletic News was benevolent, which stated: "With a little more experience, the former amateur should find a regular place in the West Ham team."

In the following first division season 1931/32 , which ended for West Ham with relegation, he was not considered in the team of coach Syd King , although in the course of the season with Wade, Alf Chalkley , Charlie Cox and Alf Earl a total of four players on the left defender position were allowed to try. Only when the start of the second division season 1932/33 failed with just one win from the first seven games did he get another chance at the beginning of October 1932, after a 0-1 home defeat against FC Bury and a subsequent 0: 6 bankruptcy at Lincoln City Albert Walker occupied the left-back position for the rest of the season , and a coach change to Charlie Paynter didn't change anything. In the summer of 1933 he was signed by West Ham for the following season, but no further competitive appearances for West Ham's first team followed, presumably he left the club in 1934 at the latest.

From September 1936 his name can be found repeatedly in lineups and match reports from Chelmsford City in the Eastern Counties League , in January 1937 he was called up for the first time in a "moderately successful experiment" as a center forward . For Chelmsford, Fryatt appeared until at least February 1938. In December 1939, when regular gaming operations across the country had already been suspended due to World War II , he ran back to Brentwood & Warley. From 1943 his name is regularly found in Essex selection teams of the National Fire Service , repeatedly as a center forward. In January 1944 he was certified "some clever ball contacts as a center forward" despite his advanced football age and in April 1944 he was successful as a scorer in the victorious final of the Garon Football Cup as a selection player for the Chelmsford NFS . He was also nominated in August 1943 as the 12th man in a cricket selection of the Essex Fire Force.
