Albert Kaye (30 April 1872 – 16 September 1935) was an English professional footballer who played as a centre-forward in the Football League for Sheffield Wednesday and Stockport County. He also played for Chatham, West Ham United, and Distillery.[2]
Kaye played for Staveley and Eckington before joining Sheffield Wednesday for the 1897–98 season.[2]
After a spell at Chatham, he joined West Ham United along with Walter Tranter for the start of their inaugural season of 1900–01.[3] There, he played mainly as inside-left, appearing once as a centre-forward and twice as left-winger. He was part of the team that played in West Ham's first fixture against Gravesend United, which the Hammers won 7–0.[1] In all, he made 14 Southern League First Division and six FA Cup appearances for the east London club, his final appearance coming on 12 January 1901 against Bristol City.[4] In June 1901, he and Tranter joined Belfast club Distillery.[5][6]
He returned to England and League football with Stockport County in 1903.[2]
