Jim Brosnan (Gaelic footballer)

Jim Brosnan (1930 to 3 December 2011) was a Gaelic footballer, team manager and county board administrator from County Kerry, Ireland. He grew up in Moyvane as the son of Con Brosnan, himself a six-medal footballer of the 1920s and 1930s, and later worked as a doctor in Dingle. At club level he played for Moyvane and Shannon Rangers and collected several North Kerry Senior Football Championships, and as a student at University College Cork he won two Sigerson Cup titles, in 1943 and 1946. For Kerry he won All-Ireland senior medals in 1953 and 1955, a National League medal in 1959 and a Munster Minor Championship medal in 1948. After playing he managed Kerry minors to back-to-back All-Ireland titles in 1962 and 1963, trained the senior team from 1965 to 1968, and chaired the Kerry County Board, where he helped put the county's club structure in place.
