30th June 2017.
A trip by train to Waterford, a short time after my previous trip. The purpose was to go to Tramore (population 11,000) a seaside town and 15 kilometres by bus.
I only had about half an hour before getting the bus back to Waterford. Time to pay a pilgrimage to the grave of a personal hero.
Shay Brennan was born in Manchester of Irish parents and became the first English-born player to play for the Republic of Ireland. He made his debut (scoring twice) for Manchester United in 1958, their first game after the Munich Air Crash.
After leaving Manchester United, he moved to Ireland and lived in Tramore and had a long association with Waterford United.
