Fred Macquire

At the beginning of the 1960 season, North Melbourne removed Macquire from its training list on the grounds that he had retired.

On 21 September 1957 he played on the half-forward flank for the North Melbourne Second XVIII team that defeated Fitzroy and won the VFL Seconds' Premiership by four points: North Melbourne 14.13 (97); Fitzroy 13.15 (93). He kicked three goals, and was one of the best on the ground.

He was listed as "Supplementary" on North Melbourne's Training List for 1956; and he played for the Second XVII in the first three rounds of 1956. Having been the best North Melbourne player in the Second XVII team's loss to Essendon—Essendon 12.25 (97), North Melbourne 9.5 (59) -- in Round 3, he played his first senior match for North Melbourne in Round 4, on Saturday, 5 May 1956, against Carlton, on the half-back flank, at Princes Park. In his ninth senior match (Round 12, 7 July 1956), he was selected as 20th man against St Kilda at the Junction Oval. He came on after half-time, and was almost immediately involved in a tussle with St Kilda's Jack McDonald. McDonald was reported for punching Macquire, and was subsequently suspended for four weeks. In the Round 16 match, against Fitzroy, played at Arden Street, on Saturday, 4 August 1956, Macquire broke a bone in his hand, and was not able to play until the next season.

Frederick Macquire (born 21 November 1936, also (mistakenly) referred to as MacGuire or MacQuire) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with North Melbourne in the Victorian Football League (VFL).

The son of Frederick James Charles Macquire (1900–1963), and Ellen Cecilia Macquire (1900–1945), née Jenkins, Frederick Macquire was born 21 November 1936.
