John Joe "Goggles" Doyle (14 June 1906 – 11 August 2000) was an Irish hurler who played as for the Clare senior team from 1926 to 1938.
[2] In retirement from playing Doyle was recognised as one of a number of the "greatest players never to have won an All-Ireland medal".
Doyle first came to prominence for the Clare senior inter-county team in 1926 when he made championship debut.
Clare's campaign finished early that season; however, in 1927 Doyle's side reached the Munster final.
This victory allowed Clare to advance to the All-Ireland final where Kilkenny provided the opposition.
These goals were negated by Kilkenny's three goal-scoring players Matty Power, Martin White and Lory Meagher.
[citation needed] Long after his playing days were over, the Gaelic Athletic Association celebrated its centenary year in 1984.
Doyle's contribution as a player was recognised when he was picked in the left corner-back position on that team.
Six years later in 1990, Doyle's reputation was further recognised when he was the recipient of the GAA All-Time All-Star award.
Doyle was also present in Croke Park as Clare later defeated Offaly to win their first All-Ireland title since 1914.
