Jimmy Doyle (hurler)

Jimmy Doyle, who lived from 20 March 1939 to 22 June 2015, was an Irish hurler from Thurles, County Tipperary, who played as a right wing-forward for the Tipperary senior team. He first played competitive hurling at Thurles CBS, joined the Tipperary minor team at fourteen and made his senior debut in the 1957 to 58 National League. During a hugely successful era for Tipperary he won six All-Ireland medals, nine Munster medals and seven National Hurling League medals, was an All-Ireland runner-up three times, and captained the team to All-Ireland victory in 1962 and 1965. He won eight Railway Cup medals with Munster over twelve years and ten championship medals with Thurles Sarsfield's. His career tally of 18 goals and 176 points made him Tipperary's all-time top scorer until Eoin Kelly passed it on 24 June 2007, and he made 39 championship appearances.
