Helbert Frederico Carreiro da Silva, usually known as Fred (born 18 August 1979), is a football (soccer) player from Brazil, currently playing for Melbourne Victory in the A-League. Previously he has played for Brazilian clubs América-MG, Guarani and Tupi FC. In Round 2 of the 06/07 season, Fred elbowed Sydney FC defender Mark Milligan in the throat, and received a 3 match ban, despite an appeal by Melbourne Victory on the basis that Fox Sports replays, in their view, showed no actual contact had been made to Milligan's throat. On his return match - October 1 2006, he scored the opening goal against Queensland Roar at the 11th minute in their top of the table clash.
His displays throughout the season showed many praises throughout the Australian footballing world. He had increased popularity when he appeared in a television commercial about 'Performance Enhancing Underwear.' Fox Sports commentator Robbie Slater once described Fred as the best player in the league while giving his special comments during a Melbourne Victory match.
