Brian Kerr (born 12 October 1981) is a Scottish football coach and former player.

During his career, Kerr played as a midfielder for Newcastle United, Coventry City, Livingston, Motherwell, Hibernian, Inverness CT, Dundee and Arbroath. He represented Scotland at senior international level, earning three caps.

Since retiring as a player, Kerr has managed Albion Rovers and East Kilbride.

Playing career

Kerr started his career with Newcastle United, but failed to hold down a regular first team place. Despite this, he won three caps for Scotland under the management of Berti Vogts. When Kerr was released by Newcastle in 2004, he signed for his home town club Motherwell. His career then suffered a major setback when he damaged an anterior cruciate ligament in a pre-season friendly, causing him to be out of football for almost nine months. After recovering from his injury, Kerr re-established his place in Motherwell’s first-team squad, and he scored his first goal for the club with a spectacular strike in a 4–4 draw with Celtic in 2005.

In 2007, Kerr left Motherwell and signed a two-year contract with Hibernian. Kerr scored (what proved to be the winner in a 1–0 victory) on his debut for Hibernian against Edinburgh derby rivals Hearts on 6 August 2007. He played regularly under John Collins, but found it harder to hold down a first team place under Mixu Paatelainen and was released on 1 September 2008.

It was reported by BBC Sport in September 2008 that Kerr was in signing talks with Major League Soccer club Toronto FC. Kerr failed to agree terms with Toronto and then had unsuccessful trial periods with Brighton & Hove Albion and Oldham Athletic. Kerr told the Daily Record during January 2009 that he may have to end his playing career due to his failure to find a new club since leaving Hibs. Soon afterwards, however, new Inverness CT manager Terry Butcher invited Kerr on trial and he was signed on 2 February. He made his debut for Inverness against former side Hibernian in a 2–0 win and scored his first goal against Hamilton. Inverness were relegated on the last day of the season and Kerr was subsequently released by the club.

On 29 June 2009, Kerr signed a contract with Dundee. He scored his first and what turned out to be only goal for Dundee against former club Inverness Caledonian Thistle on 6 March 2010. On 15 October 2010, Kerr had his contract terminated by Dundee due to the club entering administration. Kerr signed for Arbroath in July 2011. At Arbroath he scored once in a 4–2 win over Ayr United. He left the club in 2013.

Coaching career

In June 2016, Kerr was appointed to a coaching position by Albion Rovers. After Darren Young left the club in May 2017, Kerr was appointed first-team manager on 8 May 2017. He had a difficult first season, with Rovers being relegated to Scottish League Two in April 2018, and Kerr decided to leave the club soon afterwards.

On 18 May 2018, Kerr was appointed manager of Lowland League club East Kilbride. Kerr resigned his position as manager on 15 October 2018, to become assistant manager of Partick Thistle. Caldwell and Kerr were sacked by Thistle in September 2019.

Rick Steves’s net worth, biography, fact, career, awards and life story

Rick Steves Net Worth: Rick Steves is an American television personality and travel author who has a net worth of $10 million. Steves is best known for his tourism documentaries, and he has traveled all around the globe during his entertainment career. Rick is credited with discovering many of Europe’s “hidden gems,” and he urges travelers to explore less touristy areas during their vacations. His popular show “Rick Steves’ Europe” debuted in 2005 and is still running as of 2020. He also runs a popular radio show called “Travel with Rick Steves.” In addition, Rick Steves is a prolific writer with a newspaper column, and he has authored a number of travel books. Early Life: Richard John Steves Jr. was born on May 10th of 1955 in Barstow, California. Both of Rick’s parents were musicians, and he was raised alongside two sisters. Although the family initially lived in California, they moved to Edmonds, Washington when Rick was 12. At the age of 14, Steves had his first taste of European travel after his parents organized a trip to see piano factories throughout the continent. While his parents were interested in improving their own business (a piano store), Steves fell in love with Europe and the joy of traveling. At the age of 18, he returned to Europe once again – this time without his parents. After graduating from high school, Steves attended the University of Washington. As one might expect from someone who was thoroughly in love with Europe, Rick studied European History. However, he also studied business administration in order to fuel his entrepreneurial growth in the future. Rick Steves graduated from the University of Washington in 1978. Career: Steves first started spreading his love for European travel while he was in his twenties. During this period, he started teaching a travel class through The Experimental College at the University of Washington. He also supported himself by teaching piano lessons during these early days. By 1979, Rick had written his first book: “Europe Through the Back Door.” This book was self-published, and Steves then opened a travel center storefront which doubled as a piano lesson studio. Gradually building his reputation as a travel expert, Steves organized a few group tours per year and continued to update his travel books. In 1991, the show “Travels in Europe with Rick Steves” debuted. After a seven-year run, the show ended in 1998. Just two years later, Steves created another show called “Rick Steves’ Europe.” This show has been going strong ever since, although there were some years during which no episodes were produced. All of Rick’s television series and other projects are produced through his own production company called Back Door Productions. In 2005, Steves launched a radio show called “Travel with Rick Steves.” In 2006, he started writing a column for newspapers that focused on travel. Travel Philosophy: A huge part of Steves’ popularity comes from his unique philosophy on the concept of travel. He believes that in order to truly experience a destination, you have to become what he calls a “temporary local.” This means visiting small villages and straying from the path of a normal tourist route through a nation. Personal Views: Rick Steves has very strong personal views. He is a registered Democrat who has endorsed Hillary Clinton, and he is an active Lutheran Christian. In terms of religion, Steves is especially passionate about Martin Luther’s teachings, the European Reformation, and similar topics. He regularly becomes involved with organizations such as the Lutheran Peace Fellowship, the Luther Institute, and the Lutheran Theological Seminary. One of Steves’ most outspoken political views is that cannabis should be legalized. He believes that marijuana is a “soft drug” that does little harm compared to things like alcohol and tobacco, which are both legal. Steve regularly voices concerns about the growing prevalence of homelessness, which is a major issue in his home state of Washington. In terms of charitable donations, Steves once donated royalties from one of his books to Bread for the World, an organization that strives to end world hunger. He also donated $1 million to the Edmonds Center for the Arts. In addition, Steves donated $50,000 to the ACLU after pledging that he would donate $1 for every $1 spent on his website during inauguration day. Relationships: Rick Steves was first married to a woman named Anne, although they divorced in 2010. During their relationship, the couple had two children together. Rick’s son Andy later became a travel expert in his own right, founding the company Weekend Student Adventures Europe. Andy also wrote a book called “Steves’ Europe: City-Hopping on a Budget.” In 2019, it was announced that Rick Steves had started dating a bishop named Shelley Bryan Wee. Real Estate: In 2017, it was announced that Rick Steves had donated a 24-unit apartment complex to the YMCA in Seattle. His goal was to house homeless individuals in the city. He admitted that he had started buying up cheap apartments decades earlier as part of a retirement plan. This was after he had experienced success in the television industry. As part of the official press release, Rick reported that the apartment complex was worth $4 million. App: In 2010, Rick Steves launched a mobile phone app called “Rick Steves Audio Europe.” It is available for Android and iOS, and it provides travelers with a compilation of Rick’s self-guided tours throughout Europe. The app also includes travel tips and cultural insights. This app has received high ratings, and it has been downloaded by hundreds of thousands of users.
