Billy Joyce, properly William Joyce, was an Irish Gaelic football player and manager, born in 1949 and died in Galway on 12 March 2025 at the age of 75. At club level he played for Killererin in County Galway, reaching the adult team after little football at juvenile and underage levels, and won a Galway Junior Football Championship in 1968 and Galway Senior Football Championship medals in 1976 and 1978, both of which carried on into Connacht Senior Club Football Championship titles. For Galway he made his senior debut in 1969 and was a mainstay for some fifteen years, winning eight Connacht Senior Football Championship medals, captaining the side twice and taking a National League medal in 1981, though he lost four All-Ireland finals, in 1971, 1973, 1974 and 1983. After playing he managed Galway's junior team to the 1985 All-Ireland Junior Football Championship, the Galway senior team for three years, including the 1987 Connacht title, and Killererin to the 2004 Galway senior title.
