Career
Kennedy moved to Aberdeen in 1976 for £30,000 and featured prominently in Aberdeen"s greatest period of success. During the second leg of the European Cup Winners" Cup semi-final in 1983, Kennedy picked up a serious knee injury after catching his studs at the edge of the pitch. The Dons lifted the trophy after a 2–1 victory over the Spanish giants.
Kennedy earned himself a place on the substitutes bench, despite being unable to play, thanks to an act of respect from his coach Alex Ferguson.
The injury proved so serious that he never played professionally again. He was selected in the Scotland squad for the 1978 World Cup, where he played in the games against Peru and the Netherlands.
He received 8 caps in total in his 3-year international career between 1978 and 1981. Since retiring, he has worked mainly as a publican in Falkirk.
