SHAY BRENNAN’S BITTERSWEET BEGINING

 

Seamus Anthony Shay Brennan (6 May 1937 – 9 June 2000)

 

Shay’s first game for the Reds

Was Manchester United's first,

After the Munich air disaster 

It was in an FA Cup match

On the 19th of February 1958

Against Sheffield Wednesday

On an emotionally charged night

Shay Brennan scored two goals

While playing as an outside-left

Which was not his natural position

But in an odds and sods team sheet

Following the death of David Pegg

And Albert Scanlon crash injuries

He abandoned his fullback position

And secured a famous victory

On the most bittersweet night

In Old Trafford’s long history
