- Fred Jones (rugby league)
Fred Jones is an Australian former rugby league footballer. A product of the South Coast, he rose through the Manly juniors, appearing in the New South Wales Rugby Football League premiership's first grade in 1961. Except for the 1964 season that he spent at Tumbarumba, Jones played his entire career with the Manly-Warringah club, fourteen seasons in all. A hooker, he first gained representative honours in 1968, playing for New South Wales and then Australia in the World Cup, and ended the year with Manly's grand final loss to Souths. In 1970, Jones suffered another grand final defeat before captaining the club to their first premiership title. He was a try scorer in the club's 19-14 grand final win over Easts in 1972 and was named in Australia's World Cup squad that went to France at the end of the year. After a four-year absence, Jones played in all three interstate matches in 1973 and finished a memorable year by leading Manly to victory over Cronulla in the grand final. His final season with Manly was in 1975.
