James Isaiah Kershaw (27 October 1906 – 27 November 1997) was an association football player who represented New Zealand at international level.[2]

Career

Kershaw played three official A-international matches for the All Whites in 1933, all on tour against trans-Tasman neighbours Australia, the first a 2–4 loss on 5 June 1933, followed by a 4–6 loss and another 2–4 loss on 17 and 24 June respectively. Kershaw scored once in each of the first two games and twice in the third match for a total of 4 official international goals.[2][3][4]

After retiring from the game, Kershaw remained involved in the administrative side of the sport. He was a manager of the NZFA representative team which toured Australia in 1954 and an overseas NZFA tour in 1964[5] and served on the council of the New Zealand football association for 15 years, becoming its chairman from 1959 to 1963.[6]
