I'll never know where these ideas come from - the name Fritz doesn't even appear in the first 100 first names in Germany and in over 30 years here I've not met one actually called that <laugh>

It is indeed an alternative to Friedrich BB - but even Friedrich isn't that common any more. The most used names here are Peter, Michael, Wolfgang, Helmut and Jürgen - though names go in and out of fashion - names like Heinrich and Friedrich are disappearing fast here, not that Friedrich was ever that common. A lot of kids of a certain age group in Hamburg are called Kevin (after Keegan was at HSV).

The German settlement in South Australia started around 1840 - so I dare say it was common back then. :)
 
Is it that he was the only signing for Sir Alex Ferguson, who never made it off the bench? (He might not be the only one, I don’t know, but quite unusual I suppose!)
