Behind the Name
The Sutton Cup is named after Ben Sutton, a Pararoo with 12 international caps and 3 goals for the national side. Ben is also heavily involved in the NSFA community as a player, coach and educator at North Sydney United FC. He has been a huge presence in the International Day of People w/ Disability Gala Day that NSFA has been involved with for 3 years and hosted in December 2023. Ben’s biggest success story is probably the creation of the Pararoos Development Centre (PDC), which he continues to manage and run today. The PDC was started in 2020 and aims to provide footballing development training to children and adults with Cerebral Palsy and Acquired Brain Injury.
