James Herbert Shinner (9 September 1877 – 10 November 1921), sometimes known as Bert Shinner, was an English professional footballer who played in the Football League for Doncaster Rovers and Bradford City as a centre forward and full back.
Shinner had three spells serving in the Royal Navy (1894–1902, 1903–1908), with a final spell as a minelayer between 2 August and 6 December 1916,[2] during the First World War.[3] He was later invalided out of the military, suffering from tuberculosis. Shinner worked as a poultry farmer during the last years of his life.
