Olayinka Fredrick Oladotun “Freddie” Ladapo (born 1 February 1993) is a professional footballer who plays for Shrewsbury Town, on loan from Crystal Palace, as a forward.

Club career

Colchester United

Ladapo, born in Romford, England, is a powerful and robust forward who at youth level scored close to a goal a game. He made appearances on loan and work experience for teams including Chelmsford City, Thurrock and Bishop’s Stortford during his progression through Colchester United’s Academy, before being offered a professional one-and-a-half-year contract with the club in March 2012.

Ladapo made his first appearance for Colchester in the 2012–13 season, coming on as a 68th-minute substitute for Gavin Massey in a 3–1 home defeat to Brentford on 26 December 2012. His second appearance came as a 66th-minute substitute for Clinton Morrison in a 0–0 away draw against Hartlepool United on 5 March 2013.

In June 2013, Ladapo signed a new one-year contract to keep him with Colchester for a further season, looking to add to his four first-team appearances he made during the 2012–13 season. He was then loaned out to Conference outfit Woking on 16 August 2013 for one month to bolster Garry Hill’s strike-force. Ladapo was brought in to cover Giuseppe Sole’s suspension following his sending-off in the previous match against Braintree Town, a 2–0 defeat.

Featuring in the starting line-up against Chester on 17 August, Ladapo was replaced after 53 minutes by Joe McNerny who went on to score ten minutes later in the 2–0 victory. He appeared as a 76th-minute substitute for George Bowerman in the next game, a 4–2 defeat against Welling United and made further substitute appearances in a 2–1 reverse at Aldershot Town on 26 August and during a 2–1 home defeat to Gateshead on 31 August.

Following his return from his Woking loan spell, Ladapo made his first Colchester appearance of the 2013–14 season on 21 September, coming on as an 80th-minute substitute for Freddie Sears in a 1–1 draw with Crawley Town. His next appearance came on 5 October when the U’s were defeated 3–0 at home by Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Having previously failed to score in his four appearances for Woking, Ladapo was sent out on loan to Nuneaton Town on 1 November for one month. He went on to make his debut the following day in a 2–2 draw with Hyde. He scored the opening goal before being substituted after 84 minutes. In his next match against Welling United on 16 November, Ladapo was brought on as an 86th-minute substitute and subsequently scored an injury-time goal to win the game for Nuneaton 2–1.

Kidderminster Harriers

On 24 January 2014, Ladapo joined Conference side Kidderminster Harriers on a free transfer from Colchester United. Ladapo was registered in time to face Premier League club Sunderland in the FA Cup fourth round the following day. He made his Harriers debut in the game as a 68th-minute substitute in front of a crowd of 25,081 as Kiddermister went down 1–0, Ladapo missing a late chance to level the game.

On 11 March 2014, Ladapo joined Hayes & Yeading United on an initial one months loan having struggled to break into the Kidderminster Harriers team.

Grays Athletic (loan)

On 30 July 2014, Ladapo joined Grays Athletic on loan until January. Ladapo went on to make 26 appearances in the league, scoring 14 goals.

Margate

Kidderminster Harriers cancelled Ladapo’s contract by mutual consent on 13 January 2015. The following day, Ladapo signed for Isthmian League Premier Division promotion chasers Margate. In March 2016 Ladapo went on trial to Crystal Palace, during which he scored a hat trick in an Under-21 match versus Watford.

Crystal Palace

On 30 March 2016, it was announced that Lapado had joined Premier League club Crystal Palace on a two-and-a-half-year contract for an undisclosed fee. While primarily used as a member of the development squad, in July 2016 Ladapo accompanied the first team on their North American tour and was named in the starting lineup for the first friendly match against Philadelphia Union

Oldham Athletic (loan)

On 30 August 2016, Ladapo joined Oldham Athletic on loan until 2 January 2017.

Shrewsbury Town (loan)

After his loan at Oldham expired, Ladapo joined fellow League One side Shrewsbury Town on a half-season loan deal on 5 January 2017. He made his debut for the club two days later, playing the entirety of a 1−1 draw away at Swindon Town, and scored the only goal of the match on his home debut against Bradford City a week later.

International career

Ladapo is elegible to represent either England or Nigeria at international level. In June 2011, Ladapo was invited to join a provisional training camp for the Nigeria under-20 team held at Bisham Abbey in preparation for the 2011 FIFA U-20 World Cup. However, he failed to make the final 21-man squad.

He was born John William Oates on April 7, 1949, in New York City. It was back in 1966 that he recorded his first single, “I Need Your Love,” together with The Masters for Philadelphia-based Crimson Records, but he rose to fame once he teamed up with Hall. They met in 1967, but signed their first recording contract in early 1972. In addition to his role as a guitarist in the duo, Oates also co-wrote many of the singles they recorded, including (with Hall): “Sara Smile”, “She’s Gone”, and “Out of Touch”, as well as (with Allen & Hall): “You Make My Dreams”, “I Can’t Go For That (No Can Do)”, “Maneater”, and “Adult Education”. John went on to sing lead vocals on several singles that did not rank as Top 10, like “How Does It Feel to Be Back”, “You’ve Lost That Loving Feeling” (a remake of The Righteous Brothers’ song), on which Oates and Hall shared vocals, and “Possession Obsession” (with Allen & Hall). While a top 10 hit that he co-wrote and sang backup is the song “Electric Blue”, which was recorded by the band Icehouse. John Oates was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2004. Real Estate: John and his wife Aimee first bought land in Woody Creek, Colorado in 1994 for $660 thousand. They soon discovered that the writer Hunter S.

In 1997 they build a 5,000 square foot log cabin on the 4.3-acre property. John and Aimee listed the home for sale in 2017 for $6 million after deciding to spend more time at a home they own in Nashville. They lowered the price to $4.6 million but ultimately did not find a buyer and still own the property as of this writing. In 2016 John paid $2.21 million for a home in Nashville that was at one time owned by Taylor Swift. The 1920s Tudor home is located in an historic and exclusive neighborhood called Whitland. Taylor Swift bought the property in 2010 for $1.4 million as a home for her parents but ultimately sold it for a slight loss.
