Who is Jim Toohey, Sr.?
James "Jim" Toohey was an Australian rules footballer who played with Fitzroy in the Victorian Football League.
After appearing in the opening two rounds of the 1913 VFL season, Toohey left Fitzroy to coach Stawell. He returned in round seven and was a half forward flanker in Fitzroy's premiership team that year. In 1914 he kicked 38 goals, seven of them against a weak University team in the middle of the season. Toohey's career best tally was the fifth highest in the league that year. He also played in their losing 1917 VFL Grand Final side, as a centre half back.
One of Toohey's sons, also called Jim, played at Fitzroy during the 1930s, while a younger son named Jack was a league footballer at Fitzroy and St Kilda.
