Eric Kerfoot

Eric Kerfoot (31 July 1924 – 4 March 1980) was an English footballer. He was a long-serving wing-half for Leeds United and Chesterfield in the 1950s.

Kerfoot joined Leeds United from Stalybridge Celtic in 1949. An excellent and enterprising wing-half, he was one of the most consistent Leeds players, being ever-present in four seasons including the 1955–56 side that won promotion to Division 1 in 1956. He also captained Leeds in 1954–55. In total, Kerfoot made 349 appearances for Leeds, and scored 10 goals.

Career Kerfoot was signed from non-league Stalybridge Celtic in December 1949, for a fee of £3,000. Though he initially signed for the reserve side, an injury to Jimmy McCabe meant he made his first-team debut less than two weeks after signing for the club, away to Queen's Park Rangers.

Kerfoot eventually left for Chesterfield in 1959, and was released by the club after a season there.
