He initially played for the reserve team, where he was appointed captain. His "clean cut, up-standing image"[1] had a beneficial effect on the youngsters.

Smith made a further five appearances in the latter part of the season.[2] At the end of the season, he was struggling to retain full fitness and decided to retire to concentrate on his motor career and returned to Macclesfield.[1] FamilyFred was a brother to William "Buxton" Smith who played for Buxton, Manchester City, and to Lancelot who also played for Wigan Town.[3] References1. ^1 2 3 {{cite book | title=The Alphabet of the Saints|last= Holley |first= Duncan |author2=Chalk, Gary| publisher= ACL & Polar Publishing | year=1992| isbn=0-9514862-3-3|page=314}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Smith, Fred}}2. ^{{cite book | title=Saints – A complete record|last= Chalk|first= Gary|author2=Holley, Duncan | publisher= Breedon Books| year=1987| isbn= 0-907969-22-4|pages=54–55}} 3. ^10 Worsley Terrace....The Story of Wigan Town Wigan Observer: 27 December 1905: Page 8, column 3 12 : 1887 births|1957 deaths|People from Buxton|English footballers|Association football defenders|Wigan Town A.F.C. players|Stockport County F.C. players|Derby County F.C. players|Macclesfield Town F.C. players|Southampton F.C. players|Southern Football League players|English Football League players |
