Peter J. Darby (1938 – 18 December 2022) was an Irish Gaelic footballer and hurler who played at club level with Trim and at inter-county level with the Meath senior teams. He usually lined out as a defender.
Darby enjoyed a hugely successful club career as a dual player with Trim. In 1962 he captained the team from full-back to their only Keegan Cup triumph, while he also won five Meath SHC titles.[1] After a period with the Meath minor team, Darby made his senior team debut as a 19-year-old against Dublin in 1958. He was one of the key figures on the team that made a breakthrough and won the Leinster Championship in 1964. Darby was at left corner-back for the All-Ireland final defeat by Galway. He was named captain of the team the following year and was again at left corner-back when Meath beat Cork in the 1967 All-Ireland final.[2]
In retirement from playing Darby served as chairman of the Trim club, was a Meath senior selector and an officer of the Meath County Board. He was inducted into the Meath GAA Hall of Fame in December 2017.[3]
Darby died on 18 December 2022, at the age of 84.[4]
