George H. Sutton (1870–1938)[2] known as the "handless billiard player",[3] was a carom billiards professional in the United States and Europe[4] in the early 1900s. He was called a "billiard expert" and he competed with other notable billiard professionals such as Willie Hoppe.[5] Sutton had no arms below the elbows, which made his ability to master the game even more remarkable.
