John Joe Doyle
John Joe "Goggles" Doyle (1906–2000) was an Irish hurler who played as a left corner-back for the Clare senior team.
Doyle made his first appearance for the team during the 1926 championship and was a regular member of the starting fifteen until his retirement after the 1938 championship. During that time he won one Munster medal. Doyle was an All-Ireland runner-up on one occasion.
At club level Doyle is a six-time county club championship medalist with Newmarket-on-Fergus.
In retirement from playing Doyle came to be regarded as one of the greatest players of all-time. In 1984 he was chosen on a special hurling team of the century made up of players never to have won an All-Ireland medal. In 1990 Doyle was presented with the GAA All-Time All-Star Award.
