John Gregory Kemp (21 March 1940 â 28 December 1993) was an association football player who represented New Zealand at international level and played first-class cricket for Auckland.
Kemp made his full New Zealand debut in a 5âÂÂ1 win over Tahiti on 5 September 1960 and ended his international playing career with four official A-international caps to his credit, his final cap an appearance in a 4âÂÂ2 win over New Caledonia on 4 June 1962.
Kemp played 25 matches for Auckland in the Plunket Shield from 1960/61 to 1969/70, scoring 1,086 runs at an average of 27.15. He made his top score of 108 against Otago in December 1969, after Auckland had followed on, adding 140 for the eighth wicket with John McIntyre.
Kemp died in a Sydney hospital a week after receiving a second liver transplant, aged 53.
