Seamus Anthony "Shay" Brennan (May 6, 1937 - June 9, 2000) was an English football player of Irish descent in the 1960s. He was a full back for Manchester United. He was excellent at moving the ball forward from defence.
His first game for the club came in 1958 against Sheffield Wednesday. He helped United to the 1965 and 1967 Division One championships, as well as the 1968 European Cup. Despite being born in England, he played internationally for the Republic of Ireland because of the change in eligibility rules set forth by FIFA regarding parentage. He retired from Manchester United in 1970 after playing 355 games and scoring 6 goals.
