Kenneth Thomas Starke (18 June 1900 – 3 January 1982) was a South African international rugby union player.
Starke was born in Muldersvlei and attended Paul Roos Gymnasium.[1]
A lightly built wing three–quarter, Starke was known for his agility and sidestep abilities. He featured on the left wing for the Springboks in all four home internationals against the 1924 British Lions. This included a match at Newlands, where he scored two tries and a long range drop goal, to set a national individual points record.[2][3]
