Barbour, who was born in Dumbarton and played as a striker, won the Scottish Cup with Renton in 1885. He won his first, and only, Scotland cap the same year, scoring in an 8–2 win over Ireland. He also played in the unsuccessful Scottish Cup final the previous year as Renton lost 3–1 to Queen's Park. He was transferred from British Guiana to the Gold Coast in 1902. At the time of his civil service transfer, he tried to relocate his family to be with him but this was not sanctioned by his employers.
He was signed by Bolton Wanderers in May 1888 and scored 17 goals in 34 matches in three years for the club.[1] He had a season with Glossop North End in season 1891-92 and was then signed by Nottingham Forest as a coach, although he made one final league appearance for them in 1893.
