I remember him as a good, quite elegant midfielder. He could hit a pass and had a good shot on him. Like a lot of players of that period, he was following the great players which was a tough act to follow.
Brennan made 168 odd appearances for us, 19 goals. Good player.
I believe I remember him basically hitting the corner flag with a penalty?
It was a long time ago though.

I think it was Brennan that scored the winner from the half way line at Bristol Rovers in an FA Cup game in 1985. The ball cannoned off his shins on a freezing cold day.
Eastville was a mess having been partially burnt down and the large portaloo had steam coming out of both ends. It was also awash and with people rocking it up and down the waves were lapping.
The holder of the worst ever penalty at Portman Road, also my first game.
Liked a drink by all accounts. Him and Dozzell were sent home after breaking a curfew with the england u21s. Decent career at Boro, Man City and Oldham (for whom he scored against us in the inaugural Premier league season).

He was indeed elegant and played well for us at a young age. But after a couple of good years at Middlesbrough his career really tailed off. I liked watching him, but, like some others who came through after the glory years, he never seemed to me quite to fulfill the obvious talent he possessed.
