George Ker

George Ker (26 February 1860 – 26 February 1922) was a Scottish footballer who played for Queen's Park and the Scotland national team.

Ker played for Queen's Park Juniors, Kerland FC, and Alexandra Athletic before joining Queen's Park in 1877. Until 1878, Ker had played as a defender but converted to a striker in 1878.[citation needed] He won the Scottish Cup in 1880, 1881 and 1882, scoring in the 1882 replay win over Dumbarton.

After the 1881–82 season he began struggling with injuries and retired early in summer of 1884.

He was capped five times by the Scotland national team, scoring ten goals including a hat-trick against England in March 1880.

His older brother William was also a Scotland international, winning two caps, including the first international against England on 30 November 1872.

After emigrating to the United States in July 1884, Ker died in Yakima, Washington on his 62nd birthday on February 26, 1922.
