Derrick Sullivan (10 August 1930 in Newport – September 1983) was a Wales international football player. A defender, he played his club football for Cardiff City. He was part of the Wales squad for the 1958 FIFA World Cup in Sweden.
After coming through the ranks at Cardiff he made his debut in April 1948 against Newcastle United. Sullivan spent more than a decade at Cardiff and played in nearly all outfield positions for the club. He eventually moved to Exeter City and then Newport County [1] before moving into non-league football with Hereford United and Ebbw Vale.
