John Francis Dooley (10 August 1934 â 7 March 2009) was an Irish international rugby union player.
Born in Galway, Dooley was an Ireland Universities soccer international, but found more success as a rugby player, gaining three Ireland caps as a centre in the 1959 Five Nations. He scored a try in Ireland's win over Scotland at Murrayfield and later featured on the 1961 tour of South Africa, where he was a reserve for the one-off match against the Springboks. His club rugby was played with Galwegians, which he captained.
Dooley married the daughter of ex-Galway mayor Joseph Costello.
