Born in 1936, Jim 'Justice' Gough was a true Newtown Blues legend. He was instrumental in developing generations of Blues footballers into fine club and county men and the high esteem in which Jim was held in Drogheda and beyond was reflected in the large attendance of GAA people who turned up to pay their final respects. A statement from the club observed: "Jim was a great Blues man that built up great football in the area, managing many of the great Blues players in their early years along with playing himself in the '60s and representing his club on the Louth panel'.
