Born in Ballymena, Barr began his career with a number of local clubs including Wellington Street Boys' Brigade and Harryville Amateurs and Ballyclare Comrades. Barr then played as an amateur for Cliftonville, before attending Loughborough College briefly in 1956. Barr then signed for Everton, but he never played for the first team, before returning to Northern Ireland to play with Coleraine, Ballymena United and Linfield. Barr later returned to England to play professionally with Coventry City in the Football League, before playing non-league football with Cambridge United and Ely City, where he was player-manager.[1]
Barr earned one cap for Northern Ireland B in 1959, before representing Great Britain at the 1960 Summer Olympics, although he did not play a game in the tournament. Barr also earned three full caps for Northern Ireland between 1961 and 1962, as well as fourteen caps for the Northern Ireland Amateur team between 1956 and 1962.
