Jer Collison

Jer Collison, born Jeremiah Collison and living from 12 August 1889 to 18 June 1956, was an Irish hurler and Gaelic footballer who usually lined out in the backs and was a member of the Tipperary team that won the 1916 All-Ireland SHC. He began his club hurling with Toomevara, winning four championship medals between 1910 and 1914, and also played with Nenagh Éire Óg, Collegians and Moneygall. After lining out for the Dublin senior team in the drawn 1908 All-Ireland SHC final with Tipperary, he joined the Tipperary team in 1915, won his first Munster SHC medal in 1916 and his sole All-Ireland SHC medal after Tipperary's defeat of Kilkenny in the final, and a second Munster medal in 1917. He was also an active member of the Old IRA, and his hurling career ended when he was imprisoned in Belfast for drilling IRA members.
