John Sullivan (5 February 1945 - 22 February 2006) was an English cricketer.[1] He played for Lancashire as a right-handed middle-order batter and a right-arm medium-pace swing and seam bowler between 1963 and 1976.[2]
Sullivan's obituary in Wisden Cricketers' Almanack states that he was "arguably the first player to be branded a one-day specialist", and he was an integral and important part of the Lancashire side that won the first two 40-over Sunday League competitions in 1969 and 1970 and won the Gillette Cup knock-out tournament for an unprecedented three consecutive seasons from 1970 to 1972.[3]
