John Bunyan was a dual player from County Kerry who played both football and hurling with Kerry during the 1970s. Originally from Ballydonoghue, he joined the neighbouring Ballyduff club, better known for hurling than football, and went on to be a great player in both codes. In football he won a Munster Under-21 Football Championship in 1968 and an All-Ireland senior medal in 1975. He played at full forward in the Munster final, having a notable battle with Humphrey Kelliher of Cork, and in the All-Ireland semi-final against Sligo, but was omitted for the final against Dublin. On the same day in 1975 his brother Robert captained the Kerry minors to All-Ireland victory over Tyrone. In hurling he won an All-Ireland Junior Hurling Championship medal in 1972 and an All-Ireland Senior B Hurling Championship in 1976.
