[edit]I'd say this guy's famous enough to write about... article might want more content tho :P ZoFreX 06:58, 15 August 2005 (UTC)
- I withdrew the "Well done Freddy, we salute you!" part as it is completely biased. --Chriskirby 19:50, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
- I have removed this bit: "Freddy is cousins with Strathclyde Universities student representitives Todd and Randy Eastwood and 6th cousin to Hollywood actor Clint Eastwood" because:
- 1. the first part is to my mind non-notable (he has some cousins at university? why is this important?)
- 2. I don't believe the second part.....

- i am freddy's cousin, and am very proud of him. he has done really well and can only go up from here. and no we are not related to clint eastwood. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.138.101.220 (talk • contribs) 17:53, August 19, 2006
- Bah ChrisTheDude - I Bet you don't believe that the town within Southend called "Eastwood" was named after Freddy Eastwood too? ;) —Preceding unsigned comment added by AStaralfur (talk • contribs) 22:47, August 24, 2006
The most interesting thing isn't here...
[edit]He's a Romany gipsy. And next month (nov 2006), the Government will decide whether he can leave his mobile home where it is.
read about it here:
http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/sport/stewartjackson/oct06/eastwood.htm
I used to work on the local paper covering where eastwood is from and have covered his 'battle' to keep his caravan. I have written a section on this but I am not too hot with the code i have put in a 'source' and the start of a section on it Lukewalsh1234 14:24, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
- he has been allowed to keep his home so I have updated it Lukewalsh1234
Name spelling?
[edit]Is it not true that his name is actually spelt with one D, i.e Fredy Eastwood, due to a slight spelling error on the part of his parents? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.144.242.18 (talk • contribs) 19:22, November 8, 2006
- That's how it's spelt at soccerbase [1] although most other places spell it with the double-D.--Daemonic Kangaroo 18:48, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
- southend united's own website says freDDy —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lukewalsh1234 (talk • contribs) 12:52, November 9, 2006
Place of birth
[edit]Every thing seems to show he is 'born and bred' in basildon, although the nature of his people means he could have moved about a lot when he was younger, but 'sources' and people seem to agree he is from there.

- I think confusion that he is from Epsom comes from the fact football manager 2007 lists that as his place of birth - however everything else says this is wrong Lukewalsh1234
- A couple of BBC articles says 'Basildon-born..."[2][3] as does a Southend United match report report[4], an article in the Telegraph[5], Sky Sports[6] and The Times[7]. As these are more credible sources than
ChampionshipFootball Manager (huh!), I'll amend it. --Malcolmxl5 23:05, 10 July 2007 (UTC)- Add Eurosport[8] to the list. --Malcolmxl5 23:27, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Number of goals for Grays
[edit]The info box shows Freddy as having scored 37 goals in 42 league games for Grays in 2003/04 (a remarkable ratio!). However, this includes goals scored in both league and cup games; see 2003/04 profile on Grays A.F.C. website (3rd para. from bottom)[9]. His profile on the Wolves website says 28 [10]. His profile on the Southend website says 28 goals[11]. SoccerfactsUK shows 28 goals (24 goals + 4 penalties)[12]. The info box should only show the number of league goals so I have amended the info box and also the text in the main body of the text accordingly. --Malcolmxl5 22:45, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
