Brendan Considine

Football Codes

Brendan C. Considine, born on 21 February 1897 and died on 17 December 1983, was an Irish hurler, Gaelic footballer, rugby player and boxer who played as a left corner-forward for the Clare, Dublin, Cork and Waterford senior teams. He first played for Clare in 1914 and was a regular inter-county hurler until he retired in 1930. A member of the famous Considine family, which included his brothers Willie and Tull, he is regarded as one of Clare's greatest ever hurlers. He won two All-Ireland medals, the first as a seventeen-year-old in 1914, which made him the youngest player ever to win an All-Ireland title, along with two Munster hurling medals, two Leinster hurling medals and one Leinster football medal. At club level he won multiple county championships with Ennis Dalcassians and Collegians.
