Tommy Doyle (born 3 March 1956 in Chicago, Illinois) was an Irish sportsman who played Gaelic football with Annascaul GAA club and the Kerry senior football team in the 1970s and 1980s. He had a brief spell with John Mitchels in the early 1990s. Doyle was an army private at one time, and so had the nickname "Private". He now runs Kinsale Bay Food Company and lives in Cork.[1]
