He made 164 appearances in the Football League, representing a number of clubs prior to and just after the First World War.[2] Life and careerTravers was born in Newtown, Birmingham, and attended Birchfield Road School in nearby Aston. He began his football career with local teams Bilston United and Rowley United before joining Wolverhampton Wanderers in 1906. He made no league appearances for the club before moving on to Birmingham, where he spent eighteen months and played only twice for the first team. Transferred to Aston Villa in a part-exchange deal involving Jack Wilcox, he marked his debut in December 1908 with a hat-trick, but played only three more league games, leaving for Queens Park Rangers, then a Southern League club, at the end of the 1908–09 season. A year in London, during which he scored 7 goals from 34 appearances in the League (8 from 41 in all competitions),[3] preceded six months with Leicester Fosse before a more long-lasting move, to Barnsley of the Second Division, in January 1911.[4] At the Yorkshire club he became known by the nickname 'Paddy',[5][6] possibly in reference to a Scottish player of that name who had a decade earlier rather than any personal Irish links. Travers played in the 1912 FA Cup Final, in which Barnsley beat West Bromwich Albion 1–0 in extra time in the replay, after the first game had ended goalless.[7][5][1][6] The Manchester Guardians report of the replay praised his shots at goal.[8] After three years at Barnsley[4] he joined Manchester United, for whom he played 21 games, scoring four goals.[9] After the war he joined Swindon Town, playing 34 games in their last season in the Southern League and scoring 14 goals, which made him the club's second-highest scorer for the season.[10] Returning to the Football League, he spent a few months with Millwall of the newly formed Third Division and the remainder of the 1920–21 season with rivals Norwich City.[5] He finished his league career in the 1921–22 season at Gillingham, then returned to non-League football with Nuneaton Town and Cradley St Luke's, finally calling time on his career with his first club, Bilston United, in May 1931 at the age of 42.[4] Travers died in Smethwick, Staffordshire, on 31 August 1946 at the age of 57.{{cn|date=March 2019}} References1. ^1 {{cite web |url= https://i.stuff.co.nz/manawatu-standard/sport/89522096/missing-1912-fa-cup-medal-belongs-in-manawatu|title=Missing 1912 FA Cup medal belongs in Manawatu |work=Manawatu Standard| via=Stuff |date=20 February 2017|accessdate=9 March 2019}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Travers, George}}2. ^{{cite book |last=Joyce |first=Michael |title=Football League Players' Records 1888 to 1939 |publisher=SoccerData |location=Nottingham |year=2004 |page=262 |isbn=978-1-899468-67-6 }} 3. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.qprnet.com/misc/seasonalstats/excels/QPR1909.xls |format=XLS |title=1909/10 |first=Kenneth |last=Westerberg |work=QPRnet |publisher=Ron Norris |accessdate=23 February 2014}} 4. ^1 2 {{cite book |author=Matthews, Tony |title=Birmingham City: A Complete Record |year=1995 |publisher=Breedon Books |location=Derby |pages=130 |isbn=978-1-85983-010-9}} 5. ^1 2 3 {{cite web |url= https://www.edp24.co.uk/news/former-norwich-city-striker-s-105-year-old-fa-cup-winner-s-medal-expected-to-fetch-8-000-at-auction-1-4881666|title=Former Norwich City striker’s 105-year-old FA Cup winner’s medal expected to fetch £8,000 at auction |work=Eastern Daily Press |date=8 February 2017 |accessdate=9 March 2019}} 6. ^1 {{cite web |url= https://www.anorak.co.uk/322046/reviews/flashback-to-1912-rare-photos-of-life-as-it-was.html|title=Flashback to 1912 – rare photos of life as it was |work=Anorak News |date=8 May 2012 |accessdate=9 March 2019}} 7. ^{{Cite web |url=http://www.barnsleyfc.co.uk/news/article/100-years-since-reds-fa-cup-triumph-172841.aspx |title=100 years since Reds' FA Cup triumph |publisher=Barnsley F.C |date=24 April 2012 |accessdate=23 February 2014|archiveurl=http://web.archive.org/web/20140303002141/https://www.barnsleyfc.co.uk/news/article/100-years-since-reds-fa-cup-triumph-172841.aspx|archivedate=3 March 2014}} 8. ^{{Cite news |title=Barnsley's Victory |work=Manchester Guardian |pages=4 |date=25 April 1912}} 9. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.mufcinfo.com/manupag/a-z_player_archive/a-z_player_archive_pages/travers_george.html |title=George Travers |work=mufcinfo.com |publisher=Mark Graham |accessdate=19 September 2008}} 10. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.swindon-town-fc.co.uk/Person.asp?PersonID=TRAVERSG |title=George Travers |work=Swindon-Town-FC.co.uk |accessdate=19 September 2008}} 23 : 1888 births|1946 deaths|Sportspeople from Birmingham, West Midlands|English footballers|Association football forwards|Bilston Town F.C. players|Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C. players|Birmingham City F.C. players|Aston Villa F.C. players|Queens Park Rangers F.C. players|Leicester City F.C. players|Barnsley F.C. players|Manchester United F.C. players|Swindon Town F.C. players|Millwall F.C. players|Norwich City F.C. players|Gillingham F.C. players|Nuneaton Borough F.C. players|Cradley Heath F.C. players|English Football League players|Southern Football League players|Tottenham Hotspur F.C. wartime guest players|English emigrants to New Zealand |
