Born in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada, he was the son of a dairy farmer who went on to become a prominent figure in harness racing and the first Canadian to be selected to the Little Brown Jug's Wall of Fame.

In 1991, John Hayes was inducted into the Canadian Horse Racing Hall of Fame.

He took five wickets for 73, and was selected for the tour led by Walter Hadlee. He took 26 wickets at a bowling average of 33 before a groin injury in July ruled him out for the remainder of the tour.
Nicknamed "Haybag", he made his Test debut against England at Christchurch in March 1951. He played against the touring West Indies team in 1951-52, but his job obliged him to miss the tour to South Africa in 1953-54. He played at home again against the touring English team in 1954-55, and toured to Pakistan and India in 1955-56. He missed playing in New Zealand's first Test victory, against the West Indies at Auckland in March 1956, and played his last four Tests on the tour to England in 1958, ending his Test career in the 4th Test at Old Trafford. He was never on the winning side in a Test Match.

Sir John Hayes (1768 - 1831) was an eighteenth century explorer for the British East India Company.
John Trevor Hayes CBE FRSA (January 21, 1929 – December 25, 2005) was a British art historian and museum director. He was an authority on the paintings of Thomas Gainsborough.
Hayes was educated at Ardingly College, and subsequently went on to read modern history at Keble College, Oxford after which he undertook a postgraduate diploma at the Courtauld Institute of Art. In 1954 he became assistant keeper of the London Museum in Kensington Palace, the forerunner to the modern Museum of London. He developed an interest in Gainsborough after realising that British artists had hitherto been neglected by art-historical scholarship. Taking advantage of a Commonwealth Fund fellowship, he travelled to the United States and spent a year at New York's Institute of Fine Arts, from 1958–9. After his return he curated a Gainsborough exhibition for the Arts Council and in 1962 he received his PhD for research into Gainsborough's landscape paintings.
From 1970 to 1974 Hayes was director of the London Museum, overseeing its move to new premises on London Wall. He was subsequently appointed director of the National Portrait Gallery, succeeding Sir Roy Strong in the post. The duties that came with the NPG directorship did not curtail Hayes's scholarly activities, however, and during his tenure he managed to curate a major Gainsborough exhibition at the Tate and the Grand Palais, Paris), and numerous smaller ones, including one of Graham Sutherland's work. Under his aegis the NPG's annual portrait award (now the BP Portrait Prize) was established in 1980, and two regional outposts for the gallery opened at Beningborough Hall in Yorkshire and Bodelwyddan Castle in Denbighshire. Plans to move the institution to larger premises in London were never realised, although a new block for staff was built across the road from the Gallery's Victorian building. After his retirement in 1994 Hayes continued in his scholarly work, curating a further Gainsborough exhibition in Ferrara and serving as vice-president of the Walpole Society.
