Hockey Codes

John Sutton was an Irish hurler who lived from 1928 until May 1989. He played hurling with his local club Mullinavat and was a member of the Kilkenny senior inter-county team in the 1950s, and he lined out at midfield in Kilkenny's 1957 All-Ireland final win. He was one of the last great overhead strikers of the sliotar. He is identified here as the Mullinavat midfielder of the 1950s to tell him apart from other people of the same name.
