William Brady (born 13 February 1956) is an Irish former footballer and assistant manager of the Republic of Ireland's national football team. Brady was a versatile offensive midfielder with a talent for his left foot as well as his outstanding leadership abilities, including his high-quality passing, vision, and close control, making him a versatile playmaker.
He combined these skills with a lot of energy, an eye for goal from midfield, and accurate penalty taking.
Brady also stood out throughout his career for his professionalism, in addition to his football skills.
He found success with Arsenal, where he won an FA Cup in 1979, and with Juventus in Italy, winning two Serie A titles.
Brady was captained 72 times for Ireland's national football team, before being tasked with two clubs, Celtic and Brighton, and Hove Albion, as well as being the assistant manager of Ireland's national football team.
He served as Arsenal's Head of Youth Development from 1996 to 2013, and he has been a frequent television pundit for RTÉ Sport.
Early life and family
Brady was born and raised in Dublin, Ireland, with his great uncle Frank Brady Sr. and older brother Ray Brady winning senior international caps. Frank won the FAI Cup with Shamrock Rovers in 1968 and made two appearances in the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, while Pat played with Millwall and Queens Park Rangers. Liam obtained his Intermediate Certificate from St. Aidan's C.B.S. He pleaded guilty of missing a school Gaelic football match in order to play a schoolboy soccer international at the time, but the school denied this.
Club career
Brady began his career at Arsenal before transferring to London in 1971 to join the club on schoolboys in 1971, around the age of 15. On his 17th birthday in 1973, he made his debut against Birmingham City as a replacement for Jeff Blockley and put in an outstanding show. However, Brady's next game, against Tottenham Hotspur, was poor, and Arsenal boss Bertie Mee decided to use the young Irishman sparingly for the time being. Brady made 13 appearances (four of whom were substituted) during his 1973–74 career (four of whom were as substitutes). Brady was nicknamed "Chippy" at Arsenal and particularly early in his career, not for his ability to chip the ball but rather for his love for fish and chips.
Brady played with Arsenal from 1974 to 1975, and he shed his light in a team where relegation was a distant sight in a side that was hovering near to relegation for a few seasons in the mid-1970s. Brady found his best form when he was appointed Terry Neill as boss and Don Howe's return as coach. Between 1978 and 1980, Arsenal's front men, including Malcolm Macdonald and Frank Stapleton, were able to fire Arsenal's front men, and Arsenal defeated three FA Cup finals in a row. Arsenal defeated Manchester United in the 1979 final, with Brady starting the move that culminated in Alan Sunderland's most popular last-minute winner.
Brady was at the peak of his Arsenal form by now, as shown by his best goals for Arsenal; after dispossessed Peter Taylor, he weaved a looped shot from the penalty area to the top corner in a 5–0 victory over Tottenham Hotspur on December 23, 1978. He was voted the club's player of the year three times and named as the PFA Players' Player of the Year in 1979. He was the first international player to win the award despite being from Ireland.
He was the most promising youth Arsenal team back in the 1970s, when the team was aiming for trophies such as the Division One title. Despite this, Brady's belief that he would leave the club in search of a fresh challenge by the 1979-80 season was rife.
Arsenal reached the Cup Winners' Cup final last season (losing on penalties to Valencia) after beating Juventus 2–1 over two legs in the semi-finals. Brady's debut in the tie impressed the Italian giants, who in the 1980-1980s, the club's first foreign player to sign for the club had been released for foreign transfers. He is remembered as one of Arsenal's all-time greats, appearing in 307 games for the Gunners, scoring 59 goals and setting up many more.
Brady spent two seasons with Juventus, wearing the number 10 shirt and winning two Italian Championship medals in 1981 and 1982; Brady scored his only goal (a penalty) in the 1–0 victory over Catanzaro that claimed the 1982 championship. Brady went to Sampdoria (1984–1987) and Ascoli (1986–1987) before returning to London in March 1989 for a transfer fee of £100,000. In 1989, he was relegated from the First Division and spent one season in the Second Division before retiring as a player in 1990. His last game was against Wolverhampton Wanderers 4–0, which was his fourth game in which he scored.
International career
Brady made his Ireland debut on October 30, 1974, beating the Soviet Union 3–0 at Dalymount Park in a European Championship qualifier. Brady has claimed that his favorite international goal against Brazil in 1987 was against Brazil.
He was not eligible to play in the tournament because of a suspension that was accrued before Euro 88. Brady resigned from international play after qualifying for Italia 90. He declared himself fit to play again as Ireland progressed to the World Cup. However, Jack Charlton went on to state that only those who qualified in the qualifiers would make the trip to Italy.
With 70 players in the starting line-up, he earned 72 international caps for the Republic of Ireland, scoring 9 goals.
Managerial career
After retiring from playing in 1990, he worked Celtic from 1991 to 1993, then Brighton & Hove Albion from 1993 to 1995. Both spells were fruitful, and Brady's tenure at both clubs was overshadowed by the clubs' financial challenges. Brady failed to win a single trophy in his two-year tenure, including a 5–2 loss on aggregate by Neuchâtel Xamax in 1991–92, one of the club's worst European defeats in history.
Brady had no more success with Brighton after a spat over the way the club was run; he later steered an unsuccessful attempt by a consortium to buy the club. He has been involved with the new owners since appearing on fan forums as a representative as recently as 2005.
He returned to Arsenal in July 1996 as the Head of Youth Development and Academy Director. Despite being linked to Bruce Rioch's departure, Brady said he was not interested in the position, and Arsène Wenger eventually took over the role. Arsenal's youth teams won the 1998 FA Premier Academy League U17 title in 2000 and the FA Premier Academy League U19 title in 2002 under Brady. Under his guidance, the 2009 and 2010 FA Premier Academy League U18 titles were also won, as well as the FA Youth Cup in 2000, 2001, and 2009.
After Steve Staunton's dismissal in 2007, Brady was one of hundreds of former managers linked to the Republic of Ireland's position. Rather, he served as an assistant to new boss Giovanni Trapattoni and former Juventus teammate Marco Tardelli in 2008, while still assisting in the Arsenal Youth Academy as Director. When his employment came to an end, he resigned from the Republic of Ireland job in April 2010. He said he would have happily stayed with Ireland if it wasn't for his Arsenal duties, not because of his Arsenal obligations.
Brady will resign as Arsenal's Youth Academy's Director on January 30, 2013, Arsenal revealed on January 30, 2013.
Brady is currently an ambassador for The Arsenal Foundation.
Media career
Brady began as a pundit for the BBC in the 1990 and 1994 World Cups before transferring to RTÉ Sport in 1998, where he joined what became a long-running studio team with fellow pundits Johnny Giles and Eamon Dunphy and host Bill O'Herlihy, who was parodied by the Après Match sketches, in which Brady was portrayed by Barry Murphy. Brady has been an RTÉ panelist who has appeared on television news for the 2018 World Cup and UEFA Euro 2020.
Brady was involved in the early 1990s as part of an Irish anti-drugs movement dubbed "give drugs the boot," aiming to engage young boys in playing sports as a healthy pastime.
