FORMER MILLWALL AND QPR defender Pat Brady, the brother of Irish internationals Liam and Ray, has died at the age of 84 after a long illness.
Brady made the move to English football in 1959, signing for Millwall from Dublin outfit Home Farm. There, he joined his brother Ray before the pair moved to QPR in 1963. Pat made 62 first-team appearances for the Londoners.
Pat winded down his football career between Gravesend and Northfleet, and stayed in London after retiring to teach economics.
“QPR are saddened to learn of the passing of former defender Pat Brady. He was 84,” the club wrote on Twitter today.
“Our thoughts are with his family and friends at this difficult time. RIP.”
