John Alexander Fullerton, MBE (born 22 May 1943 in Ballymena ) is a Northern Irish television presenter and journalist, who was a reporter and football commentator for BBC Northern Ireland until he retired in 2016.

1966

On 6 August 1966, Ballymena United were the visitors when Fullerton became Cliftonville's first ever used substitute at Solitude.

In addition to his football career, Fullerton also played cricket for Ballymena.

1972

Fullerton was previously a footballer for Irish league clubs Ballymena United, Cliftonville, Derry City and Crusaders; winning the Irish League title with Crusaders in the 1972/1973 season.

1973

Fullerton's presenting career began in 1973 as a reporter and presenter for Ulster Television.

He was invited to work for the station by station controller Sidney Perry after participating in a penalty competition for the Sportscast programme and became the main sports anchor on UTV's evening magazine programme, Good Evening Ulster.

1978

In his autobiography, Fullerton revealed he almost accepted a sports reporter position at Granada Television in 1978, but decided to remain in Northern Ireland for the sake of his family.

He also disclosed the controversy caused by rumours of an affair with Good Evening Ulster presenting colleague Gloria Hunniford, which were untrue.

1980

It was during his time on Good Evening Ulster when, in 1980, Fullerton interviewed wrestler Giant Haystacks in the studio, who proceeded to slam him on the studio floor – a clip which has been repeated on various blooper TV shows since.

1992

Fullerton moved from Ulster Television to BBC Northern Ireland in 1992.

2004

In 2004, the BBC announced that Fullerton would no longer introduce the sport during BBC Newsline, but his reporting and commentating duties would still continue.

The same year saw Fullerton undergo triple heart by-pass surgery following a period of ill health.

2005

He returned to commentary duties in January 2005.

He is married with three sons: Darren, Nicky and Gareth, who are all sports journalists themselves.

2007

In 2007, Sky Sports obtained live broadcast rights to Northern Ireland's international matches for £10million.

Rumours circulated at the time that Fullerton had been approached by the network to commentate on their coverage of Northern Ireland games.

These rumours were unfounded when Fullerton disclosed while he had talks with Sky, he had signed a 'rolling contract' to remain with BBC Northern Ireland.

2008

In 2008, Fullerton interviewed Northern Ireland international David Healy on the footballer's DVD, David Healy, The Talisman.

2020

However, he made a return in 2020 to commentate on Ballymena United matches for their live streaming services while no fans were in attendance due to COVID-19.
