Freddie Miller (birth unknown - death unknown) was a professional rugby league footballer of the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s. He played at club level for Hull F.C., and Featherstone Rovers (Heritage № 314),[1] as a fullback, i.e. number 1, and was Captain of Hull during the 1946–47 season.[2][3]

Playing career

Challenge Cup Final appearances

Freddie Miller played fullback in Featherstone Rovers' 10-18 defeat by Workington Town in the 1952 Challenge Cup Final during the 1951–52 season at Wembley Stadium, London on Saturday 19 April 1952, in front of a crowd of 72,093.

County Cup Final appearances

Freddie Miller played fullback in Hull F.C.'s 10-18 defeat by Huddersfield in the 1938 Yorkshire County Cup Final during the 1938–39 season at Odsal Stadium, Bradford on Saturday 22 October 1938.

Playing career

Freddie Miller made his début for Featherstone Rovers on Saturday 21 January 1950,[4] he appears to have scored no drop-goals (or field-goals as they are currently known in Australasia), but prior to the 1974–75 season all goals, whether; conversions, penalties, or drop-goals, scored 2-points, consequently prior to this date drop-goals were often not explicitly documented, therefore '0' drop-goals may indicate drop-goals not recorded, rather than no drop-goals scored. In addition, prior to the 1949–50 season, the archaic field-goal was also still a valid means of scoring points.

Honoured at Featherstone Rovers

Freddie Miller is a Featherstone Rovers Hall of Fame inductee.[5]
