Barney Travers (1894 – February 1955) was an English professional footballer who played as a forward for Sunderland.[1] He received a life ban from football in 1922 after the Football Association found him guilty on a charge of offering a bribe of £20 to South Shields to throw the game against Fulham. He was pardoned in 1945.[2]
