Australian Rules

An Old Paradian, Dalton was used mostly as a rover in his two seasons at Collingwood. He appeared in the 1964 VFL Grand Final and kicked a goal from the forward pocket, in a four-point loss. Dalton later played for Preston in the Victorian Football Association, and finished equal-third for the J. J. Liston Trophy in 1967.[1]

Lawn bowls

He won a bronze medal at the 1982 Commonwealth Games in Brisbane for the Men's Pairs, with Peter Rheuben. It was the same Commonwealth Games where another former VFL player, Bob Edmond, won a silver medal for weightlifting.

Eight years later he lost the bronze medal play off in the fours with Ken Woods, Dennis Katunarich and Rex Johnston at the 1990 Commonwealth Games in Auckland.[2] [3]
