Goalkeeper Bill Brennan was one of three Transport FC footballers selected for the Ireland squad at the 1948 London Olympics, along with Harry Boland and Peter McDonald.
McDonald was the only one of the three to play in the Republic’s only match of the tournament, however, a 3-1 defeat by Netherlands in a qualifying game. Brennan (along with Patsy McGonagle) was one of the two travelling reserves to the match played at Portsmouth’s Fratton Park ground.
Based at Bray, near Dublin, Transport FC was the works team of the Irish Transport System and were invited to join the League of Ireland when it was extended to ten teams in 1948/49. Brennan spent most of his time in the reserves as second choice to regular ‘keeper O’Byrne.
