Alan Brady (1909-1969) was an Australian professional rugby league footballer who played in the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s. A New South Wales representative three-quarter back, he played in the NSWRFL Premiership for Sydney's the Western Suburbs and Canterbury-Bankstown clubs, with both of whom he won premiership titles.[2]
Playing career
[edit]In 1929, his first professional season, Brady was the New South Wales Rugby Football League premiership's top try-scorer with 11 tries. A year later, Brady was the star of the first rugby league grand final ever played in Australia, scoring 3 tries in the match[3] that gave the Magpies their first premiership success.[2] Four years later, he was a member of the club's second grand final win when they defeated the Roosters 15–12. He scored 71 tries in his time with the Magpies, at the time a club record, later eclipsed by Peter Dimond.[4]
Joining the recently formed Canterbury-Bankstown DRLFC in 1936, Brady captain-coached the club to victory in the 1938 NSWRFL season's premiership final, giving him the rare achievement of playing in the first premiership victory for two different clubs.
Coaching career
[edit]He was coach of the Canterbury side that lost the 1940 NSWRFL season's premiership final.[4]
