Wilfred Bartrop
X" 40th Trench Mortar Battery, Royal Field Artillery
7th November 1918. 

Husband of Ruby Bartrop, of 12, Allen St., Worksop. Notts.

Born 22nd November 1887


Wilfred was a professional footballer, who played as a Forward for several English sides prior to the First World War. He was killed in action, days before the end of the war. 

He started his career at home side Worksop before transferring to Barnsley on 21 June 1909. He played in both FA Cup finals that Barnsley reached in 1910 and 1912. In the 1910 FA Cup, Bartrop scored a 'wonder goal' in a 1–0 quarter-final win over Queen's Park Rangers. In the final, Barnsley lost the replay 2–0 to Newcastle, after a 1–1 draw in the first tie. The 1912 cup final went again to a replay but Barnsley won, defeating West Bromwich Albion 1–0 in extra time, after a 0–0 draw in the first encounter. Many newspapers, including the Manchester Guardian, praised his play in the replay.
At the end of the 1913–14 season he transferred to Liverpool who he played a total of 3 games for before his career was interrupted by the First World War.
