Bernard 'Bernie' Brogan is a former Dublin Gaelic football player from Ireland.

[edit] Playing career

Bernard received an allstar for his performances in 1979. He was on the all-Ireland senior football winning side for Dublin in 1976 against rivals Kerry by a scoreline of 3-8 to 0-10. The following year he got the crucial goal in what many believe to be the greatest game of all time when Dublin defeated Kerry in the All Ireland Football semi final. A few weeks later he collected his second All Ireland medal when Dublin defeated Armagh by a scoreline of 5-12 to 3-6. He also has two national football league division one medals for Dublin which he received in 1978 against Mayo and in 1976 in the final in which he appeared as a substitute against Derry. Bernard is the father of current Dublin and St Oliver Plunketts footballers Paul, Bernard and Alan Brogan. His brother Jim Brogan also played for Dublin during the seventies.
