Percy Barton (20 January 1893 – October 1961) was an England international footballer who played as a left half. He played for Birmingham both before and after the First World War, making 349 appearances in all competitions, and was a member of the team that won the Second Division title in 1920–21.
Barton was born in Edmonton, London where he attended Montague Road School. He worked as a butcher's boy on leaving school, and played football for a local team, Sultan F.C.[2] One of his Sultan teammates, Richard Gibson, had gone on to play professionally for Birmingham, and Gibson recommended Barton to the club.[3] Barton signed for Birmingham in January 1914 at the age of 18,[2] went straight into the first team, and missed only two league games in a season and a half before the Football League was suspended for the duration of the war.[4]
He missed only one match in the 1920–21 season as Birmingham won the Second Division title.[5] Towards the end of his Birmingham career he played in positions other than his customary left-half; in the 1926–27 season he was used at left back and later still he played centre-half or filled in occasionally on the right.[6] He was a hard-working player, whose combative style did not always find favour with referees, resulting in him being sent off three times.[2] After leaving Birmingham he spent four seasons with Stourbridge in the Birmingham & District League.[2]
He won seven caps for England between 1921 and 1924.[7]
Barton died in Birmingham in October 1961 at the age of 68.[7]
