Peter Gartland (14 May 1893 â June 1973) was an English professional footballer who made one appearance as a left back in the Football League for Manchester City. At the time of his death in June 1973, Gartland was the last living member of Manchester City's final pre-war squad.
Gartland served as a gunner in the Royal Field Artillery during the First World War. In September 1918, he received a small shrapnel wound in the leg from a gas shell, which necessitated the leg being amputated.
