James Gallagher (born 17 November 1979) is an Australian rules footballer who played with Adelaide in the Australian Football League (AFL).
Gallagher, a Sacred Heart College product, was the third generation of his family to play for Norwood. Both his grandfather Sam Gallagher, and uncle Phil Gallagher, played for Norwood and South Australia.[1]
A midfielder, he was promoted from the Adelaide Rookie List in 2001 and played four seasons for the club, often coming off the bench.[2][3]
He has gone on to play over 200 games for Norwood and has been club captain since 2007. He won back to back best and fairest awards in 2007 and 2008.
In 2012 he came out of retirement to deservedly win a premiership with Norwood once again performing on the big stage as he had done much of his career.
