John Kenneth George Hastie (6 September 1928 â 2 October 2002) was a South African footballer who played as a centre forward.
In August 1952, Hastie signed for Leeds United from South African club Clyde Athletic after impressing for South Africa the previous year, during a Newcastle United tour of the country. On 17 September 1952, Hastie made his debut for Leeds against Birmingham City in a Second Division game, scoring twice in a 2âÂÂ2 draw. Hastie only made three more league appearances for the club, due, in part, to the emergence of John Charles. At the end of the 1952âÂÂ53 season, Hastie was released by Leeds, returning to South Africa to play for Germiston Callies.
