Soccer Legend
A true gentleman, Paddy enjoyed a long and distinguished association with Shamrock Rovers, his only League Club, gracing the hooped jersey from 1949 to 1964, and continued to turn out for the Bs in the early 70s.
In his playing prime in the 50s, Paddy was a gifted inside forward, who starred alongside his great friend Liam Tuohy in the Tovers team known across the land as Coad's Colt after player-coach Paddy Coad.
Paddy starred in that great side won the league in 1954 and 1957, and the FAI Cup in 1955 and 1956.
Paddy's tally of 109 league goals remains a record for the Hoops while he also won five caps for the Republic of Ireland between 1954 and 64.
After he finished playing, Paddy stayed on at his beloved Milltown working alongside 'the Rasher' in a coaching capacity as Rovers dominated the Cup scene in the 1960s.
