Scottish Mag 3 Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Latest from .com Having impressed in their recent Senior Cup win over us, Whitley Bay striker Lee Kerr (in red, above) has been invited for a trial with United. The Jarrow-born 19 year-old known as "Sparky" to the Hillheads faithful has netted 20 times for Bay so far this season. Kerr made his senior Bay debut back in 2004, achieving the unique feat that year of netting in the FA Cup, FA Vase and FA Youth Cup. A trial with Leeds at that time came to nothing, but his form this season has attracted interest from various clubs including ourselves, the mackems, smoggies, Hibs and Stockport. Kerr has been training at the latter club this week and is due to link up with Newcastle on Monday for three days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetleftpeg 0 Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 I drink with his Grandad. Canny lad, scores some cracking goals. Only criticism you could have is that he's a bit lightweight. By all accounts he was unlucky when he went down to Leeds, the place was in complete disarray at the time and they were sacking coaching staff left right and centre.

Capo 0 Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 Having spent a week training with Newcastle, Whitley Bay striker Lee Kerr has been granted permission by his club to appear for our reserve side on Monday evening. The Jarrow-born 19 year-old nicknamed "Sparky" is set to line up for our second string as they entertain Bolton Wanderers at Kingston Park (7pm). Kerr is no stranger to the Falcons ground, having caught the eye of the Newcastle staff when appearing there for Bay in their 2-1 Senior Cup success against us in January.

sweetleftpeg 0 Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 A few carloads of us going down there from my lercal tonight to cheer him on. I have to be honest here, I've watched the kid a lot and although I think he's too good for the Northern League I just can't see him anywhere near the PL. Make a decent League 2 player like. Just my honest opinion like, but I still hope he has a blinder tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetleftpeg 0 Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Just back, he looked busy first half, had a couple of chances, but the entire side were pretty dire second half. Didn't disgrace himself anyway. Worth a second look I reckon. By the way, Luque didn't come back out second half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt 0 Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 By the way, Luque didn't come back out second half. Luque's parking is as bad as his shooting (I'm assuming the Spanish Porsche was his)- parked with the wheels at 45 degrees across two bays. It was gone by FT. After Saturday's showing I thought I couldn't see a worse game. Wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baggio 0 Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 Kerr returns after trials with ToonMar 10 2007 By Lee Ryder, The Evening Chronicle Newcastle United have decided against handing 19-year-old Whitley Bay star Lee Kerr a contract following a two-week trial with the club. The Jarrow teenager impressed at United and had his trial extended twice following an initial three-day stint. And Lee Clark also insisted on seeing Kerr play in United's 0-0 draw with Bolton last Monday. However, after a fortnight's examination, Kerr is available again to rejoin Whitley for their Northern League title quest. However, it isn't the end of the player's chances of stepping up to a higher level. Watford and Norwich City had scouts assigned to today's game with Jarrow Roofing at Hillheads. And there were representatives of eight clubs watching Kerr at Kingston Park on Monday night, including Darlington boss Dave Penney. Hillheads boss Ian Chandler said: "I spoke to Sparky and it appears he hasn't been affected by this minor setback, and is looking forward to helping Whitley Bay in winning the Northern league. "I also believe the experience of training with Newcastle will serve him well, and has added an extra element of confidence to Lee." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
