Frederick Russell Alexander (4 June 1924 – 17 May 1984) was an English cricketer.[1] He was a right-handed batsman and a right-arm medium pace and off-break bowler who played for Middlesex during the 1951 season.[1] He was born in Acton Green and died in Harrow, London.[1]
Alexander represented Middlesex in two County Championship games during the 1951 season, making his debut against Surrey and following this up with a game against Sussex two weeks later. Alexander was a lower-middle order batsman who also played five games for the team in the Minor Counties Championship,[2] but was unable to score enough runs to secure a permanent place in the side.[citation needed]
Alexander also played football as a centre-back, and was on the books of league teams QPR and Charlton Athletic, but never made senior appearances for either. He played for Dartford and Margate in the Kent Football League.[3] Alexander's transfer from Dartford to Charlton Athletic set a record for a non-league club, as he and Riley Cullum were bought for £6,000.[4]
