Alfred (Fred) Obrey (3 June 1912 – 26 November 1986) was an English former footballer.
Obrey played for Longton before joining Port Vale as an amateur in May 1936, signing as a professional in October of that year. He made his debut in October 1936 and his first game was the first of a thirteen game unbeaten run for the club, the first nine of which Obrey helped prevent the opposing centre-forwards from scoring any goals. He lost his place in December 1937 and was transferred to Tranmere Rovers in June 1938, but returned to the Vale as a guest in September 1939. He left on the conclusion of the 1939–40 season as the club went into abeyance due to the war.[1]
