South Yorkshire Times, May 5th 1933

A feature of Barnsley’s recent displays has been the clever play of Eddie Fleetwood who last season was with Mexboro’.

In Saturday’s game with Rochdale, Fleetwood not only scored two of Barnsley’s three goals but was the most artistic and thoughtful forward on the field and he got another goal in Teddie Ashton’s benefit match on Monday. Fleetwood’s ability as a footballer has never been in question hut his slight physique was his greatest handicap while with Mexboro’ and this has doubtless prevented getting a regular place in Barnsley’s Third Division side earlier in the season.

However, his talent seems to have received due recognition now and in spite of the uncertain future, which under present circumstances appears to be before the Barnsley players, it is to be hoped he will be been again in League football next season.
