Aidan Malachy Brady (16 October 1939 — 16 April 2019) was an Irish rugby union international.[1]
Brady, born in Dublin, was educated at Blackrock College and went on to study at UCD School of Medicine. He featured in two Leinster Senior Cup successes with UCD and captained the club to a win over Trinity in the 1964/65 Colours Match.[2]
A hooker, Brady gained four Ireland caps during his career. His first selection, via UCD, came against Scotland at Lansdowne Road in the 1966 Five Nations Championship.[3] Two years later, while playing in Northern Ireland for Malone, he made a further three Five Nations appearances, including wins over Scotland and Wales.[4]
Brady practiced medicine in Chatham, Ontario, Canada.[2]
