Fred McKean nicknamed "Snowy" was an Australian rugby league footballer of the 1930s and 1940s. He played for Western Suburbs and Parramatta as a prop. He was a foundation player for Parramatta and played in their first ever match.
Playing career
In 1947, McKean joined Parramatta who had just been admitted into the competition along with Manly. Before the season began, McKean was the clubs oldest recruit at 34 years old. McKean played for Parramatta in the club's first ever game against Newtown which was played at Cumberland Oval and ended in a 34-12 defeat. McKean scored the club's second ever try after George Cook had scored the club's first.
Parramatta went on to claim the wooden spoon in their inaugural year after struggling all season with a limited roster and managed just 3 wins. McKean played one further season for Parramatta and retired at the end of 1948.
