Career

Kerr appeared for Hibernian in the 1947 Scottish Cup Final and helped the club win the 1947–48 Scottish League championship.[1] His good form for Hibs caused understudy George Farm to leave Hibs for Blackpool.[1]

After retiring as a player, Kerr went into business with Tom Hart.[1] Kerr, like Hart, served on the Hibs board of directors.[1]
