Life and career Feebery was born in Hucknall, Nottinghamshire, in 1888.

He turned professional ahead of the 1909–10 season, He remained a regular in the side, playing his final match for the club in a 2–1 defeat at home to Chelsea on 7 February 1920. He made 160 league appearances for Wanderersall but the 1910–11 season were in the top flightand scored 16 goals; he had a powerful shot, and was the team's regular free-kick and penalty-taker.

He moved on to Exeter City, about to embark on their maiden season in the newly formed Third Division South. He was ever-present through the campaign, but left the club at the end of it in unusual circumstances. His name was inadvertently left off the retained list, Brighton & Hove Albion's manager Charlie Webb spotted the omission, and promptly signed him before Exeter's officials could fix their mistake.
