Fred Brooks is "Willaston history personified". We are indebted to him for the multiple photos and articles that he has willingly contributed to Gawler History Team. We have all of this in storage on our Flickr and we will be adding to this Wiki over time.

Fred's football prowess was certainly acknowledged by his inclusion in Gawler's "Team of the Century" as shown in the image courtesy of The Bunyip.

According to the bunyip Newspaper, Fred was awarded a woodwork certificate by the Minister of Education, S.W. Jeffries in December 1936. ¹

FRED BROOKS turned 97 TODAY 28/11/2019 and looks very well in his Adelaide Road home.

However, since early 2020, Fred is now being looked after in Eldercare in Gawler. Fred has now given Gawler History Team a further substantial quantity of additional Willaston material and we are indebted to him for his generosity and thoughtfulness.

We are saddened to learn that Fred passed away 3-3-2021. His funeral handout has been scanned and is within his photos below.
