James Michael Palmer (1927 - 21 December 2022), known as Mixie Palmer, was an Irish Gaelic footballer who played for club side Killarney Legion and at inter-county level with the Kerry senior football team.[1]

Career[edit]

Born in Kenmare, County Kerry, Palmer played at club level with Killarney Legion and won a County Championship medal in 1946.[2] He first appeared on the inter-county scene as a member of the Cork minor football team in 1945 before subsequently winning an All-Ireland Junior Championship medal with Kerry in 1949. Palmer's performances in this grade resulted in an immediate call-up to the senior team and he won the first of five Munster Championship medals in 1950. He claimed his first All-Ireland title after a defeat of Armagh in the 1953 All-Ireland final. After defeat by Meath the following year, Palmer collected a second winners' medal after lining out at left corner-back in Kerry's defeat of Dublin in the 1955 All-Ireland final.[3]
