Life and career

Feebery was born in Hucknall, Nottinghamshire, in 1889. He came from a footballing family: two brothers, Jack and Alf, also played in the Football League, and three others played at lesser levels. Feebery began his career with local club Hucknall, and was on the books of Nottingham Forest without playing for their league team, before signing for Southern League club Coventry City in 1911. After three years, during which he switched from left half to centre half, he moved on to another Southern League club, Crystal Palace. He played two seasons in the Southern League for Palace either side of the First World War, and another three after their election to the Football League, and captained the team for some of that time. In 1924, the 35-year-old Feebery returned to the Southern League with Folkestone. By December 1925, he was working as a milkman in Penge. Feebery died in 1964.
