I know he's not a Trinity player but a local rugby league legend......as both an International referee but also bringing on untold number of juniors at Eastmoor.
Sad news.
RIP Fred.

It's not often you find out a family member has died over social media.

Really sorry if that caused a problem.
Obviously only posted once it was out in the public domain and was done out of respect.

No issue with the post Poptart, its just an odd circumstance that's all.

R.I.P. Fred my old Eastmoor friend, a Rugby League man through and through, and a great Referee.

RIP Mr Lindop.

He was an old mate of my Dad, also an Eastmoor lad, back in the day, and introduced me to him, back in the early 80's.

A great referee, and did a lot for our sport in the local community

Thoughts with your family KK.

Sad news, my mother grew up with him as they lived over the fence from the family on Eastmoor. I came across him many times through playing at amateur level and he always spoke every time we passed afterwards .

Remember him refereeing in the '80's and IMO was probably the best referee of his time...R.I.P.

RIP. Even when fans were bawling and shouting and sulking about decisions against their teams they knew he was fair. And deep down they knew he was probably right too.

One of the best and always the first choice ref for the top games. I think he also broke the mould and was the first of the modern day refs in that he was very fit and could keep up with play.Many refs back then had huge bellies and could hardly run. very sad news.

As an aside I was talking to a bloke the other day and we both said that it's a pity he was a Wakey lad because back then he could never ref Trinity games. We used to get some right rubbish refs, very much like now,

Sad news. Was rightly thought of as the top ref of his era and having Wakefield attached to his name gave us all a bit of pride.

RIP Fred,
He was a genuinely good man, a friend, a role model and a source of encouragement for thousands of young Rugby players making their first forays into the game at Eastmoor.

Some will rate his Refereeing career differently but he was hard & fair, knew the rules but more importantly he knew the boundaries of fair play and respect while officiating.
