About Frederick (Fred) Roberts
Fred Roberts (7 April 1882 – 21 July 1956), was a rugby union footballer who played for the New Zealand national team, commonly called the All Blacks. Playing at half-back, he played for the 1905 Original All Blacks, the first New Zealand representative team to tour the British Isles. He was the only half-back taken on the tour, and played in 28 of their 32 matches in the British Isles. New Zealand rugby historian Winston McCarthy wrote of Roberts that he was "a superb passer, a judicious runner from the scrum, and excellent two-foot kicker and a giant on defence." Roberts continued to be selected by the All Blacks until 1910, when he captained the New Zealand team on their tour of Australia.
