Barker had to put his coaching career on hold midway through the 1995 season for health reasons. He died on 26 April 1996. Barker was 39 when he died when his liver failed after a prolonged battle with colon cancer.

Barker's 230 games did not include a final, a VFL/AFL record, and he is one of only five players in the AFL/VFL to play 200 games or more without appearing in a final (the other four are Steve Smith and Gary Hardeman of Melbourne, teammate Geoff Cunningham and Ted Pool of Hawthorn). As he got older he would regularly miss games through chronic injury until he retired after the 1989 season.

After retiring from the Saints in 1989, Barker embarked on a coaching career with Victorian Football Association club Sandringham. He coached the Zebras to premierships in 1992 and 1994 before leaving after his second premiership to return to the Saints as an assistant coach to Stan Alves.

Barker was captain of the St Kilda Football Club from 1983 to 1986. He was regularly featured in the VFL highlight reels with his high-marking and determined approach to the ball.

His contribution to St Kilda, particularly in the 1980s when the club had severe financial difficulties, was significant. St Kilda's best and fairest award, instituted in 1914, is named the Trevor Barker Award as a mark of respect to his contribution to the St Kilda Football Club. Barker was named in the club's Team of the Century 1900-1999.

Barker played during an era of little club success, which included St Kilda being wooden spooners in 1977, 1979, 1983–86 and 1988.

Barker won St Kilda's best and fairest award in 1976 and 1981.

Barker was recruited from the Cheltenham Football Club in 1975. He made his debut wearing number 25 against Hawthorn in round 2 on 12 April 1975. He changed to his iconic number 1 in 1977. He was selected to represent Victoria at interstate level on seven times.
