John Sizmur attended St. Dunstan’s College in Catford, London, and played most of his senior lacrosse for the Old Dunstonians. An England international, he was also a Middlesex county player, and represented The South in the prestigious annual match against The North. Sizmur was one of All-England’s six substitutes for the 1948 Olympics. In 1952 he moved to the Kenton club, and in 1953 was appointed treasurer of the South of England Lacrosse Association.
Sizmur served with the RAF during World War II, and was promoted from flying officer to flight lieutenant in 1944, when he was involved in the Normandy landing, and was, that year, awarded the Air Force Cross (AFC).
