Hugh Stewart Kerr (1882 – 10 April 1918)[1] was a Scottish footballer.
[2] However, the Ayr officials were of the opinion that United had made an illegal, unofficial approach to sign Kerr, and an enquiry into the transfer was set up by the International Football Association Board (IFAB).
The IFAB found United innocent of any illicit contact with Kerr about a week later, but he was ultimately released at the end of the season.
[3] Kerr served as a private in the London Scottish during World War I and died of wounds on 10 April 1918.
