Career
Brady played twice for the Irish Free State during the 1920s. He made his international debut in a 3-0 away defeat against Italy on March 21, 1926. His team mates on that day included Harry Cannon, Jack McCarthy and Bob Fullam.
Brady was a controversial inclusion in the team
At the time he was in dispute with his club, Fordsons, having been dropped for an FAI Cup replay against Shelbourne on January 16. He took no further part in his club’s successful cup campaign and did not retain his place until after his return from Italy.
In the subsequent game against Italy he played at right-back and, despite finishing on the losing side, put in an impressive performance. Playing as a left-back, Brady captained a team that also included Tommy Muldoon, Mick O"Brien, Joe Kendrick, Harry Duggan, Bob Fullam and Bill Lacey.
