Jim Brophy

Jim Brophy, formally James Brophy, was an Irish hurler who lived from 1920 until October 1998 and played as a right corner-back for the Galway senior team. He joined the team during the 1940-41 National League and was a regular member of the starting fifteen until his retirement after the 1954 championship, and during that time he won one National Hurling League medal. He is identified here as the Galway corner-back of the 1940s and 1950s to tell him apart from other people of the same name.
