Jeremiah Charles "Jerry" Walsh (born 3 November 1938 in Cork, Ireland) was a Ireland international rugby union footballer. He was capped twenty-six times by Ireland as a centre between 1960 and 1967. That Walsh's prowess was mainly defensive was shown by his scoring record: it was not until his 26th appearance that he managed a try for Ireland. But the occasion, that famous victory at Sydney Cricket Ground, could scarcely have been bettered. With that he retired, in order better to pursue his career as a doctor.
