Allen was born in the Hockley district of Birmingham and played football for Springhill Methodists before joining Small Heath in 1890.[1] He played three times for them in the Football Alliance in the 1891–92 season when Jack Hallam was switched to a more central forward position.[2] He died in Birmingham in about 1926.[1]
A forward called Fred Allen is recorded to have played for Luton Town in the Southern League from 1892 to 1895. He was the club's top goalscorer during the 1893–94 season.[3][4]
