Jarlath "Ja" Fallon (born 1973) is a former Gaelic footballer who played for the Tuam Stars club and at senior level for the Galway county team.
Galway failed to defend their title the following year after losing to fierce rivals Mayo in the Connacht SFC final at Tuam stadium.
In 2004, newly appointed county manager Peter Ford, chose Fallon as one of his three selectors on the Galway backroom staff.
After a disappointing Championship season for Galway in 2007, Ja decided to retire from Inter-county football for the final time, to allow younger players to make a name for themselves.
[2] In May 2020, the Irish Independent named Fallon as one of the "dozens of brilliant players" who narrowly missed selection for its "Top 20 footballers in Ireland over the past 50 years".
