About John Valentine (cricketer)
- John Nugent Valentine (born 20 September 1954 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada) is a Canadian former cricketer, a left-arm medium-pace bowler who was the first player to take a wicket for Canada in a One Day International.
- His batting was extremely poor, and in nine matches at ODI and ICC Trophy level his highest score was 3 not out.
- He played domestic cricket in Canada for Ottawa, Ontario. Valentine appeared in Canada's runner-up 1979 ICC Trophy team with some success; he took nine wickets at 15.88, though never more than two in a single innings.
- He also played in his country's 1979 World Cup side, opening the bowling and removing Pakistan's opening batsman Majid Khan for 1.
- Valentine played two other matches for the outclassed Canadian team in that tournament, against England (taking the wicket of captain Mike Brearley) and Australia (claiming the scalp of Rick Darling).
- He now works as a technology teacher in Ashbury College. Valentine's father, Barry Valentine, played cricket for Cambridge University and later became the Bishop of Rupert's Land in Canada.
