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
