Template:Use British English Template:Infobox football biography Frederick William Hargreaves (16 August 1858 – 5 April 1897) was an English footballer who represented the England national team. He also played first-class cricket for Lancashire.
A member of the Malvern College[1] 1st XI team, Hargreaves played his club football for the Blackburn Rovers and was a half-back in their team which lost the 1882 FA Cup Final.[1] His first international cap for England came in 1880 when he took the field against Wales, with England winning 3–2.[1] The following year he made another appearance in an international match against Wales but this time he finished on the losing side.[1] In 1882, he claimed his third and final cap in a convincing 13–0 victory over Ireland.[1] As of January 2013, this remains England's highest ever winning margin.
His brother John Hargreaves also played at Blackburn and represented England.
An amateur cricketer who was previously a member of Malvern's First Eleven Cricket team, he appeared in his only first-class cricket match in 1881, against Derbyshire. Hargreaves was dismissed by George Osborne for a duck in his only innings and took a couple of catches.[2] He played club cricket at Blackburn's East Lancashire Cricket Club.[3]
