Playing career
Kelly began his career at Tooting & Mitcham United before becoming a vital part of Leatherhead's cup run in 1974–1975.[1] As a result of this Kelly received minor celebrity status and because of his outspoken comments became known as the "Leatherhead Lip".[1] On the back of the cup run, Kelly made a brief but unsuccessful move to Millwall in 1975 after which he returned to Leatherhead where he saw out his career.
Managerial career
Kelly managed Kingstonian on two separate occasions, the main being between March 1986 - May 1994, taking over from his former Leatherhead manager Billy Miller, and returned for a shorter stint between January 1995 - May 1995.[2]
