Frederick George "Fred" Hollands (3 October 1870 – 1948) as an English professional footballer who played as an outside-forward for Millwall Athletic and Southampton St Mary's in the 1890s.
Hollands was born in Poplar in the East End of London and started his football career with local club, Millwall Rovers, when the club were restricted to friendlies and appearances in the early rounds of the FA Cup. During Hollands' time with the club, Millwall reached the third qualifying round in 1892 where they were defeated 3–4 by local rivals, Woolwich Arsenal. The following year, (now known as Millwall Athletic) they again reached the third qualifying round against Woolwich Arsenal, with the "Gunners" running out 2–0 winners.
In the 1894 close-season, Hollands moved to Hampshire to join Southampton St Mary's. In 1894, Southampton St Mary's, together with Millwall Athletic, were one of the nine founder members of the Southern League, which had been created to enable clubs in southern England who were not admitted to the Football League, to play competitive football on a regular basis. For the start of their League career, Saints signed several new players on professional contracts, including Charles Baker, Lachie Thomson and Alf Littlehales from Stoke and Hollands from Millwall.
