Synan Braddish (born 27 January 1958, Finglas, County Dublin, Republic of Ireland) is a former Irish footballer who spent most of his career playing in the League of Ireland, most notably with Dundalk. As an international, Braddish also played for the Republic of Ireland. ==Club career== Braddish initially played junior football with Raven Athletic in his local Finglas area. During the 1970s this club served as a nursery team for Dundalk and in 1975 they recruited Braddish.〔''The Complete Who's Who of Irish International Football, 1945–96'' (1996):Stephen McGarrigle ()〕 Braddish subsequently played five seasons with Dundalk under manager Jim McLaughlin, helping the club win seven trophies including the League of Ireland title in 1976 and the FAI Cup in both 1977 and 1981. His team-mates at the club included, among others, Terry Flanagan, Dermot Keely and Cathal Muckian. Described as an elegant and intelligent midfielder, Braddish scored 17 goals during his time at Dundalk – 12 in the league and 7 in cup competitions. He scored his first goal for the club on 17 August 1975 against Drogheda United in a 2–2 draw in the Donegan Cup. Dundalk eventually won the game 3–1 on penalties.〔( Dundalk F.C. 1970s )〕〔(Dundalk F.C. 1975–76 )〕 On 6 April 1977 at Dalymount Park, Braddish scored in a 1–0 win against St Patrick's Athletic in an FAI Cup semi-final replay.〔(Dundalk F.C. 1976–77 )〕 On 23 January 1978 he scored a hat-trick in the league in a 6–2 win against Shelbourne.〔( Dundalk F.C. 1977–78 )〕 Braddish was on the verge of signing for Los Angeles Skyhawks when in April 1978 he was offered a contract by Liverpool. Together with Derek Carroll and Brian Duff, he was one of three Dundalk players Liverpool signed for a combined fee of £50,000. However none of the trio managed to get a first team game and all of them subsequently returned to Dundalk. On 29 January 1980 Braddish scored a second hat trick for Dundalk, again against Shelbourne, helping the club to a 9–0 win in the league.〔(Dundalk F.C. 1979–80 )〕 After leaving Dundalk, Braddish went onto play for St Patrick's Athletic for a further five seasons. Among his team mates at this club were Joey Malone, Dave Henderson and a young Paul McGrath.〔(''Back from the Brink'' (2006): Paul McGrath with Vincent Hogan )〕〔''The Complete Who's Who of Irish International Football, 1945–96'' (1996):Stephen McGarrigle ()〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Synan Braddish」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
