Fred Fulton was born in Aligarh in India in 1850. His father, George Fulton, a captain in the Royal Engineers, was killed at Lucknow in 1857.[2] Fred was educated at Cheltenham College in England[3] and then moved to New Zealand.

His cricket career was marred by a severe injury to one of his arms in 1874. He was scutching flax at the mill where he worked in Outram, just outside Dunedin, when his arm was drawn into the machine and broken in several places. The arm was saved by Professor Duncan McGregor at Dunedin Hospital, using Joseph Lister's recently discovered principles of antisepsis.[2] Despite his damaged arm Fulton played cricket for many years for the Carisbrook club in Dunedin and represented Otago before moving to Napier in 1881 and playing for Hawke's Bay.[4][5] He also served as honorary secretary of the Otago Cricket Association.[6]
