Freddy left The Academy after Roeder thought he wasn't good enough (jackass...) and moved to conference side Gray's Athletic. He scored 37 league and cup goals in his first season, winning the Grays' Golden Boot and in turn his professional stock soared.
Eastwood moved to Southend United in October 2004, initially on loan and made his debut for the club in spectacular style, scoring the opener after 7.7 seconds (a record for a debutant). At Southend, Eastwood became somewhat of a cult hero, especially after the memorable free kick against Man U which saw the Shrimpers win 1-0.
In July 2007, Freddy completed a £1.5m move from Southend to Wolves and has been starting for them in the Championship this year. (More on Freddy)Great to see a player battle up through the leagues. I would love to say that we should have always kept him, but from the looks of it, he needed that time to develop into the player he is now. Good luck to him and if he keeps on getting better I for one would welcome him back.
