Born in Cork, Dalton first played competitive Gaelic football in his youth. He first appeared for the Nemo Rangers club at underage levels, winning back-to-back under-21 championship medals. Dalton subsequently progressed onto the Nemo Rangers senior team and went on to win five All-Ireland medals in a career that spanned three decades. He also won six Munster medals and seven county senior championship medals.[1]
Dalton made his debut on the inter-county scene when he was selected on the Cork minor team in 1976. He enjoyed two championship seasons with the minors and collected back-to-back Munster medals.
