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:
“What exacerbates the strain in the working class is the absence of money to pay for services they need, economic insecurity, poor daycare, and lack of dignity and boredom in each partner’s job. What exacerbates it in upper-middle class is the instability of paid help and the enormous demands of the career system in which both partners become willing believers. But the tug between traditional and egalitarian models of marriage runs from top to bottom of the class ladder.”
—Arlie Hochschild (20th century)
