Redfern Froggatt (23 August 1924 – 26 December 2003) was an English footballer for Sheffield Wednesday and England. In total he received four England caps scoring 2 goals.
In 1942 'Red' was signed from Sheffield YMCA but did not become a regular player in the Sheffield Wednesday side until 1945. Over the course of the next 15 years he would go on to make a total of 498 appearances for the club, mostly as a striker but playing over 50 games as a winger, scoring 149 goals. On New Year's Eve 1953, Froggatt submitted a transfer request, and an offer from Steel City derby rivals Sheffield United was rejected in February 1954.[3]
His final game for Wednesday came in the 1959–60 season. On 22 January 1960, Froggatt turned down a move to fellow South Yorkshire club Doncaster Rovers, before signing for Stalybridge Celtic in 1962.[3]
