John Frederick "Fred" Halliday (19 April 1880 – 20 May 1953) was an English professional footballer and manager who played as a full back in the Football League for Liverpool, Everton, Bolton Wanderers and Bradford City between 1898 and 1907. He went on to manage Bradford Park Avenue and Brentford. He was posthumously inducted into the Brentford Hall of Fame in 2015.
Halliday began his career as an amateur at local club Chester, playing in The Combination. He came to the attention of First Division side Liverpool after impressing in a friendly against the Merseyside club towards the end of the 1897–98 season. He completed his transfer to Liverpool in April 1898. He enjoyed a good first season as a professional, with the Reds finishing second in the First Division. Halliday was released by Liverpool at the end of the 1899–00 season and joined cross-city rivals Everton. He failed to make a league appearance for the Toffees during his single season with the club, before moving to Bolton Wanderers in 1901. He left Wanderers at the end of the 1902–03 season after the club's relegation to the Second Division was confirmed. He moved to newly founded Second Division side Bradford City in the summer of 1903. He made 72 appearances in the Football League and two FA Cup appearances for Bradford and departed the club in 1907.
