Biography

In 1956, Cutter, a second lieutenant in the 2nd Battalion Royal Army Service Corps at the time, was called up to represent Great Britain at the 1956 Olympic Games in Melbourne.[3] Unfortunately his Olympic experience ended early after he broke his ankle in the opening match.[4]

Cutter joined Ben Rhydding Hockey Club and later represented Great Britain at the 1964 Olympic Games in Tokyo.[5][6] He was one of two Welshmen, with Roger Sutton in the squad.

Cutter was the Great Britain hockey team coach during the 1968 Summer Olympics.[5]
