Role: Former

Fred Cummings

Fred Cummings was brought to the club in the summer of 2011 by manager Steve Bateman following the departure of Dave Anderson to Harrow.

Fred was formerly first team coach at Hemel Hempstead, and is well known to Bateman from his early days in management.

Technically strong and with numerous qualifications, Fred has a wealth of knowledge and experience in the non-league game.

Under Fred and Steve Bateman, Slough reached the First Round Proper of the FA Cup for the first time since season 2004/05, after beating Gosport Borough in a Fourth Qualifying Round replay to earn a trip to Mansfield Town in November 2012. Slough came away from Field Mill with a creditable draw, forcing the full-timers to a replay at Holloways Park, which ended in penalty shoot out heartache after a 1-1 draw in front of a crowd of almost 1,600. Mansfield would go on to win the Conference National and gain promotion to League 2.

The season was to end in disappointment for Slough though, as the Rebels missed out on a playoff place by a single point after a fixture pile-up late in the season. Fred left the club by mutual consent in May 2013 along with Steve Bateman.
