John Sissons (born September 30 1945 in Hayes, Middlesex) is an English former footballer who played for West Ham United, Sheffield Wednesday, Norwich City and Chelsea.
Sissons played as inside left for Middlesex and England Schoolboys, but was moved to outside left by Hammers manager Ron Greenwood. He made his senior debut for the East London club on May 4 1963, a home game against Blackburn Rovers. He became the youngest player to score in an FA Cup Final at Wembley, in May 1964, and second youngest to appear behind his Preston North End counterpart Howard Kendall. He went on to play 213 league (37 goals) and 52 cup (16 goals) games for West Ham.
Sissons moved to Wednesday in 1970 for £60,000. He made 115 league appearances for the northerners, scoring 14 goals, before moving to Norwich, where he rejoined former team-mate John Bond. He played for West London club Chelsea 11 times during the 1974-75 season before hanging up his boots. John was part of the NASL champion Tampa Bay Rowdies in 1975.
John is now a successful businessman in Cape Town, South Africa, having played out his career with 'Budgie" Byrne.
