Club Career:
Biography:
"Batty" Brennan established himself in the Bohemians team in 1909/10. A strong, resolute defender, he gained a silver medal in the Irish Cup when Bohemians were beaten 2-1 by Shelbourne in a replay on 26th May 1911.
Not noted for his goalscoring, (he scored only two goals in his career with Bohemians), it came as a surprise when Brennan scored for Ireland in the 3-2 defeat of Wales at Ninian Park on the 13th April 1912. Ireland were trailing Wales by 2-0 after half an hour when Bradford’s John McCandless scored in the 61st minute to make it 2-1. A few minutes later “Batty” raced through and equalised. With five minutes to go John McCandless was on target again and Ireland had a rare victory.
Brennan, a railway clerk by trade, served Bohemians well and was appointed club captain for the 1917/18 season.
