Frederick James Kirkwood (31 July 1890 – 18 August 1956) was an Australian rules footballer who played for Fitzroy and Essendon in the Victorian Football League (VFL).[1]
From Surrey Hills, Kirkwood was a wingman in Essendon's 1912 premiership team, having spent the previous two seasons at Fitzroy. His final season in 1914 was marred by a four-game suspension for using "insulting language" at an umpire. Kirkwood later served in World War I.[2]
