Cyril Hunter (8 February 1898 – 1962) was an English professional football centre half who played in the Football League for South Shields, Brentford and Lincoln City.[2] While a South Shields player, he received a six-month ban (then the longest in English football history) for exceptional rough play in a Second Division match versus rivals Middlesbrough in March 1927.[2][3] He was sent off in a Gateshead reserve team match in April 1931 and was suspended until the end of the 1931–32 season.[4] [5]
