Albert Edward Kay (22 November 1895 – 1975) was an English footballer who made almost 300 appearances for Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Career

Kay spent fifteen months at Birmingham between June 1919 and November 1920.

After a short spell at Willenhall, he joined Wolverhampton Wanderers in Summer 1921, making his club debut on 2 September 1922 in a 1–1 draw at Derby County. The team were relegated to the Third Division in his first season, but made an immediate return as champions.
