Alex Kerr (13 November 1880 – 1 February 1965)[1] was an Australian rules footballer who played with South Melbourne in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
Kerr, known by his nickname of "Bubs", was a rover, recruited from Metropolitan Junior Football Association side Port Rovers.[2]
A knee injury brought an early end to his debut season and kept him out of action for over a year, until he came back into the team late in the 1907 VFL season. In just his third game back, Kerr kicked four goals in a semi final win over Collingwood.[3] He then appeared as one of South Melbourne's followers in the 1907 Grand Final, which ended in a Carlton victory.[3]
He appeared in all possible 21 games for South Melbourne in 1909, including their grand final win, when they reversed the result from two years earlier and defeated Carlton.[3]
From 1912, until the war, Kerr played for Prahran.[1]
