Life and career

Brennan was born in 1924 in Dublin.[1] He came to prominence with League of Ireland club Shelbourne before signing for Brighton & Hove Albion in 1948. He made his Football League Third Division South debut towards the end of the year, and became a regular in 1949–50, but inconsistency cost him his place, and he made just six senior appearances in two years. He spent a season with Yeovil Town before joining Southern League rivals Weymouth,[2] where he made 112 appearances in all competitions.[3] A season with Dover preceded a return to the Brighton area where he was player-coach of Sussex County League side Hove Town and worked as an ambulance officer. Brennan died in Hove in 1991 at the age of 66.[1]
