Mayor of Derry City and Strabane District Council, Councillor Ruairí McHugh, said: “I was delighted to host a reception for Brendan Bradley on Friday night in the Guildhall. It was, in my opinion, long overdue. Many of his old teammates travelled from near and far to honour a man who is a true legend of Irish sport, and that indicated to me the esteem this man is held in by all who know him.
“With 235 goals, Brendan Bradley is still to this day the League of Ireland’s all-time top scorer. In 2015 he was rated the greatest League of Ireland player of all time by The Examiner newspaper.
“As I said at the reception, so many footballers came before him and so many came after him – some great goal scorers and players they were too - but it's an amazing statistic that a man from Creggan still sits at the top of the charts of Irish soccer in 2025, almost 40 years after he stopped playing.”
