Seamus Donal D'Arcy (14 December 1921 – 22 February 1985), known as Jimmy D'Arcy or sometimes Paddy D'Arcy, was a Northern Irish international footballer who played as an inside forward.
After playing in the Republic of Ireland for Waterford, Limerick, Dundalk and in Northern Ireland for Ballymena United,[1] [2] D'Arcy played professionally in the Football League for Charlton Athletic, Chelsea and Brentford, before his retirement in 1954. He also represented the IFA XI.[3] An ankle injury ended D'Arcy's career in 1954 and the following year he returned to Charlton Athletic to serve as Development Association Officer for eight months.[4]
After retiring from football, D'Arcy settled in Sudbury Hill and worked as a quality inspector for a local glass manufacturing company.
