John Kenneth George Hastie (6 September 1928 – 2 October 2002) was a South African footballer who played as a centre forward.
Career In August 1952, Hastie signed for Leeds United from South African club Clyde Athletic after impressing for South Africa the previous year, during a Newcastle United tour of the country. On 17 September 1952, Hastie made his debut for Leeds against Birmingham City in a Second Division game, scoring twice in a 2–2 draw. Hastie only made three more league appearances for the club, due, in part, to the emergence of John Charles.
