Career
Kerr began his club career at underage level with Beragh Red Knights. After lining out in two minor finals he began a 17-year senior career in 1952, winning a St Enda's Cup title in 1958. Kerr made his breakthrough with the Tyrone senior football team as a 19-year-old. He played at right corner-forward when Tyrone won their maiden Ulster Championship title in 1956. Following his playing career, Kerr continued his involvement in Gaelic football as manager of the Beragh Red Knights senior team on a number of occasions, however, it was at juvenile level that he enjoyed coaching success.{{cite web|url=http://www.beraghredknights.com/14714-2/|title=Mick Kerr honoured at special Red Knights function|publisher=Beragh Red Knights GAA website|date=|accessdate=30 January 2021|first=|last=}}{{cite web|url=https://tyronegaa.ie/2021/01/tyrone-gaels-mourn-the-sad-passing-of-mick-kerr-drumnakilly-beragh-r-i-p/|title=Tyrone Gaels Mourn the sad passing of Mick Kerr, Drumnakilly Beragh.
