Sydney Albert William Fieldus MBE (27 May 1909 – April 1974) was an English footballer who played as a defender.

Early life[edit]

Fieldus was born in Romford, Essex on 27 May 1909.[1]

Career[edit]

Fieldus began his career with both Clapton Orient and Brentford, before signing for Colchester United in 1937.[2] He made 23 appearances in all competitions for the club, before the outbreak of World War II.[2] During the war, he served as a Captain in the Essex Home Guard, being awarded an MBE for his efforts on 15 December 1944, whilst he also appeared for Clapton Orient, Southend United and Colchester Wanderers – a club formed by Fieldus who were disbanded upon the return of league football.[1] Following the culmination of the war, Fieldus was instrumental in helping restart Colchester's footballing activities, serving the club as secretary-manager from June 1945 to April 1946.[3][4] Following his time at Colchester, Fieldus appeared for Chelmsford City.[2]

Later life and death[edit]

Fieldus died in Colchester in April 1974.[1]
