Brendan Guerin
Brendan Noel Guerin was an Irish international rugby union player.
Originally from County Waterford, Guerin was schooled in Dublin, attending Castleknock College. He won a Leinster Schools Senior Cup title during his time at Castleknock.
Guerin played in the second row of a strong Galwegians side which dominated the late 1950s. A regular Connacht representative, Guerin and Charlie Lydon share the distinction of being the province's first forwards to gain an Ireland national [rugby union team|Ireland] cap, when they appeared against Scotland at Lansdowne Road in 1956.
A banker, Guerin remained involved in rugby as an administrator and served as Galwegians president in 1973-74.
Guerin's two sons, Enda and Shane, both played rugby for Connacht.
