John William Michael Sutton (born 26 December 1983) is an English footballer who plays as a striker and is currently in his second spell with St Mirren. He has played for a number of clubs in England and Scotland as well as Australia throughout his career, and also represented England at Under-15 and Under-16 level.
Born on 26 December 1983 in Norwich, England, Sutton was a promising youth cricketer, representing Norfolk at various age levels. He was a modest batsman and useful off-spinner of moderate pace. He started his football career as a youth trainee with Tottenham Hotspur and as part of their reserve squad. Whilst playing at under 17 level he scored 25 goals in 26 games. In 2002, he went on loan with Carlisle United (where he scored his first career goal against Cambridge United) before agreeing to be released by Tottenham and signing on a months contract with Swindon Town.
In 2003, Sutton joined Raith Rovers. He made a quick impression at Raith, scoring 13 goals in 20 league appearances for the Scottish Football League First Division club. Several clubs enquired about his availability in January including Valencia where he spent three days on trial,Dundee and English Championship club Millwall, who signed him for £60,000. He failed to make an impression at Millwall, playing just 4 league matches. He did however contribute to Millwall's run to the 2004 FA Cup Final, coming on as a substitute against Tranmere Rovers in their quarter-final replay.
