John Edmund Sitton (born 21 October 1959) is an English former professional footballer and former coach and manager of Leyton Orient.
He is considered a cult hero for many fans of 90s football, particularly noted for key phrases such as "all I'm sayin' to ya" and "it's come off Brooksy's shins". He is said to be a significant inspiration on Portsmouth band 'The Social Contract'.
