Frederick 'Fred' Charles was an English footballer who played as an inside forward for Sheffield United in the Football League along with spells at Doncaster Rovers and Castleford Town.
During World War I he returned to Sheffield and guested for his old club on a number of occasions, ironically featuring more than he ever had in peace time games.[1] He also made a number of guest appearances for a number of clubs playing against United who had found themselves a player short, including Grimsby Town, Notts County, Birmingham and Hull City.[1]
