Шаблон:Use mdy dates Шаблон:Infobox football biography Findlay "Lindy" Kerr (January 16, 1897 – November 1980) was a soccer player who played as a goalkeeper in the National Association Football League and American Soccer League. Born in Scotland, he earned one cap with the United States national team.

Professional

Some sources state that Kerr began his career in the Scottish League. Regardless, he signed with the U.S. club Bethlehem Steel during the 1920-1921 National Association Football League (NAFBL) season. His first start came in a 9-0 win over Disston A.A. on January 12, 1921. The NAFBL folded at the end of the season, to be replaced by the first American Soccer League. With the change in league, the owners of Bethlehem Steel moved the team to Philadelphia, renaming it the Philadelphia Field Club. Kerr spent the 1921-1922 ASL season in Philadelphia, then moved with the team back to Bethlehem the next season. In October 1923, he moved to the Fall River F.C. The 'Marksmen' won the 1924, 1925 and 1926 league titles in addition to the 1924 National Challenge Cup championship. By the 1926-1927 season, Kerr was serving mostly as a backup and on August 19, 1927, the 'Marksmen' traded Kerr to J&P Coats for Ned Tate and a player to be named later (Tommy Martin). In 1928, the team was sold to new owners who renamed the team the Pawtucket Rangers. Kerr retired in 1930.

National team

Kerr earned his cap with the U.S. national team in a 6-2 win over Canada on November 6, 1926.
