Eric Kerfoot

Eric Kerfoot (b.July 31, 1924 in Ashton-under-Lyme, England, d.March 4, 1980) was a long-serving wing-half for Leeds United and Chesterfield F.C. in the 1950s.

Kerfoot was signed from non-league Stalybridge Celtic for £3,000 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 [cite web | title=Eric Kerfoot | url=http://www.leedsfans.org.uk/leeds/players/220.html |accessdate=2007-09-09]

Kerfoot eventually left for Chesterfield in 1959, but only spent one season there before retiring from the game.

He later ran the Liston Public House on Cheetham Hill Rd, Dukinfield.

He died on 4 March 1980, aged 55. In a poll of the 100 greatest ever Leeds United players, Kerfoot was voted in at number 98.
