Bobby Kerr (footballer, Born 1947)
Robert Kerr (born 16 November 1947 in Alexandria, Scotland) is a former football midfielder who captained Sunderland to victory in the 1973 FA Cup Final versus Leeds United Career Kerr joined Sunderland in 1964, making his debut and scoring the only goal in a win against Manchester City in December 1966. Nicknamed ''the Little General'' due to his tough style of play and lack of height, Kerr made 413 starts and 14 substitute appearances between 1964 and 1979 for Sunderland, and is widely acknowledged as one of the club's greatest-ever servants. After twice breaking his leg at the start of his Sunderland career, Kerr overcame the setbacks to lead the club to FA Cup glory in 1973 by beating strong favourites Leeds United 1–0, a feat which is seen as one of the greatest shocks in English football. The game itself was voted as one of the top ten greatest moments at the old Wembley Stadium. Aside from the FA Cup, Kerr also led Sunderland to promotion from Division Two in 1976. Be ...
