Jack Toohey (4 April 1925 – 3 September 2010)[1] was an Australian rules footballer who played with Fitzroy and St Kilda in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
A half back flanker, Toohey is the son of 1913 Fitzroy premiership player Jim Toohey senior.[2] [3] His brother, Jim Toohey junior, also played for Fitzroy, but was 10 years older and last played in 1938, well before Jack made his league debut in 1947.[2]
Toohey, who was from North Carlton originally, made 11 appearances for Fitzroy in the 1947 VFL season, including their semi final win over Richmond.[2] [4] He wasn't selected in the preliminary final loss to Essendon, as he was ill with influenza.[5] He was a regular fixture in the Fitzroy team for the next two seasons, although he was troubled by his shoulder, which was prone to dislocation.[4] [6] This prompted him to accept an offer to be playing coach of New South Wales club Holbrook in 1950.[6] [7] He returned to Fitzroy in 1951 and remained there until midway through the 1952 season, when he was cleared to St Kilda.[8] After just one season at St Kilda, Toohey left to coach Brighton in 1953.[9]
