Hutton was born to the
Test cricketer and former
England captain Len Hutton and his wife, Dorothy, at
Pudsey in May 1946. He was educated at
Repton School, captaining the school cricket team in 1964. Hutton played for the
Yorkshire Second XI, but was unable to follow in the footsteps of his father and brother,
Richard, who both played for Yorkshire at senior level. He toured East Africa with the
Marylebone Cricket Club in 1973/74, playing a single
first-class match against
East Africa at
Nairobi. He batted in both MCC innings, scoring 12 runs in their first innings before he was dismissed by
Vasant Tapu and 39 runs in their second innings, before being dismissed by
Zulfiqar Ali. With his right-arm
medium pace bowling, he dismissed
Jawahir Shah and
Jagoo Shah in the East African first and second innings respectively to finish with match figures of 2 for 47. Alongside his brother, he unveiled a
blue plaque in honour of his father and
Herbert Sutcliffe at
Pudsey St Lawrence Cricket Club in October 2016. His uncle
Frank Dennis and nephew
Ben Hutton both played in over fifty first-class matches. ==References==
