Everything seems to be fine although there is a lot of detail and perhaps an over-reliance on Clive Everton as the main source. I was a little concerned on first reading by some of the prose in the lead and early years sections but I subsequently copyedited these myself because, once the article gets into Fred's pro career, the prose settles down and is much better. Verification is good and there no problems about original research, copyvio, neutrality or anything like that. Given Fred's very long career, the challenge had to be breadth of coverage but you've handled this well by keeping it chronological and everything is within scope. Only the one image but I agree it is fair use. I have tried to study the tables but there's a lot to take in, although there is good annotation. They are well placed, however, being below the narrative.

All in all, everything checks as a yes and this is a good article. I'm pleased about that as I remember Fred. He was always a jolly sort of a chap and a great sport. It's not surprising the audiences warmed to him. Well done. BoJó &#124;  talk  UTC 22:16, 29 October 2022 (UTC)
