Frederick "Fred" Taylor (born April 29, 1882 in Kimberworth , † 1954 ) was an English football player.

Career

Taylor began his professional career in the Second Division at Gainsborough Trinity . In 1909, the fast and defensive outside runner moved to the London club Chelsea FC . As an integral part of the team, he came to a use for a selection of the Football League and was in the last FA Cup final in 1915 , before the competition was discontinued because of the First World War . Against the team from Sheffield United he lost with his team 3-0. In the war-related regional replacement competitions, Taylor was used sporadically. After the end of the war and the resumption of play, he moved to Brentford FC after a total of 171 league and cup games in 1919 . In 1920 Taylor was given a charity game at Chelsea that raised £ 120.

From 1934 Taylor was active in the newly founded club Peterborough United as part of the coaching staff and groundskeeper, in the season 1936/37 he was the main coach.
