John Kelly (1913 – after 1936) was an English professional footballer who played as a centre forward or inside forward.
Kelly was born in 1913 in Sandbach, Cheshire. [2] He was on the books of Accrington Stanley before making his Football League debut for Leeds United during the 1934–35 season. [2] He was known as Mick Kelly while at Leeds, to distinguish him from clubmate Jack Kelly. [3] He left Leeds on 23 October 1935, and after a brief spell with Barnsley, during which he played three Second Division matches, he signed for Bradford City on 21 November, which meant he was registered with three clubs within a month. [1] During his time with Bradford City he made five appearances in the Football League, [4] and left in 1936 [5] for Bedford Town. [2]
His brother Dom also played league football. [6] [2]
