Christopher "Christy" Jacob (born 1944) is an Irish retired hurler who enjoyed a successful career as a centre-back with the Wexford senior team.
[3] Jacob made his senior championship debut in a 3–18 to 4-5 Leinster semi-final defeat of Dublin on 19 June 1966.
Jacob won his sole Leinster medal in the senior grade in 1968 following a 3–13 to 4–9 defeat of reigning provincial and All-Ireland champions Kilkenny.
This victory allowed Wexford to advance to an All-Ireland final against Tipperary, the outstanding team of the decade, on 1 September 1968.
In one of the great All-Ireland comebacks, Tony Doran got Wexford back on track with a goal six minutes after the interval.
Late goals from "Babs" Keating and Seán McLoughlin for Tipperary failed to stem the tide as Wexford secured a remarkable 5–8 to 3–12 victory.
