Bob Kane (known as 'Bertie' apparently) was almost signed by
Celtic but stayed with a junior side in Scotland before moving down
to Elland Road in 1935. He got a regular berth in the side in
1936-37, but in subsequent seasons found himself competing for the
number 5 shirt with Tom Holley. Kane saw service in Gibraltar
during the war and made some guest appearances for Hibs when he was
back in the UK. On demob he returned to Leeds to play just one more
game at the start of the 1946-47 season before returning to his
native Scotland. He died in 1985.
