- Keep. Nominator didn't mention that the original PROD was removed with comment "subject played in last 16 of both European Cup and CupWinners Cup". Not a preliminary or qualifying round: the last 16. This isn't a man with a small number of games in a semi-pro league. Mr Brady played for 13 seasons in the Irish top tier with 3 different clubs, and a further 3 in the second tier, winning it twice. He was an amateur international, and their manager was pretty disappointed when he turned professional with Bohemians in the middle of Ireland's 1978 UEFA Amateur Cup run. And in 1987, the Irish Times described him as "one of the League of Ireland's most popular players". There's decent coverage of his career, much of it trivial like that of most footballers' careers, available in that paper, and doubtless plenty more in other newspapers, and I can't demonstrate it here because there are so few free-access online links available. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 15:24, 12 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep - I've seen far less notable subjects on WP never be challenged and if true User:Struway's facts bolster this subject substantially. Paavo273 (talk) 06:12, 14 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - Meets WP:GNG basied on Irish Times quote. I'm disturbed by this desire of some to delete articles related to players who have played for years and years at the top of Irish football. Surely a player who gets a testimonial match a big team is without question notable. Nfitz (talk) 03:39, 15 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Agree with User:Struway2's analysis. Finnegas (talk) 11:25, 17 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
