International Career
Brady made his debut for Ireland on 30 October 1974, in a 3–0 win against the Soviet Union at Dalymount Park in a European Championship qualifier.
Brady has claimed his favourite international goal was that against Brazil in 1987.
He never played in a major tournament, partly due to injury and a suspension accrued before Euro 88.
During qualification for Italia 90 Brady retired from the international game. Once Ireland qualified he declared himself available once again. However Jack Charlton decided that those who had played in the qualifiers deserved to go to Italy.
He won 72 international caps for the Republic of Ireland, 70 in the starting line-up, scoring 9 goals.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
““Never hug and kiss your children! Mother love may make your children’s infancy unhappy and prevent them from pursuing a career or getting married!” That’s total hogwash, of course. But it shows on extreme example of what state-of-the-art “scientific” parenting was supposed to be in early twentieth-century America. After all, that was the heyday of efficiency experts, time-and-motion studies, and the like.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
