Jack Mitton
John "Jack" Mitton (7 November 1895 – 5 August 1983) was an English professional footballer who played as a half-back for various clubs in the 1920s.
Mitton was also a cricketer for Somerset in 1920.
Football career
Mitton was born in Todmorden, West Yorkshire and was first recorded as playing football as a youth with Portsmouth Rovers of the Lancashire Combination, before spells with Padiham and Brierfield.
He joined Burnley of the Football League First Division as a trainee in 1914 but failed to break into the first team before the outbreak of the First World War. During the war, he made guest appearances for Bury, before joining Exeter City, then in the Southern League in June 1919. He remained with Exeter City for the early part of their inaugural season in the Football League Third Division before being signed by First Division club Sunderland in October 1920.
He was immediately drafted into the first team, making his debut at right-half as replacement for Robert Coverdale in a 2–2 draw at Bradford City on 23 October 1920. He retained his place for the rest of the season, at the end of which Sunderland finished twelfth in the table.
