Trevor Brennan Bio

Trevor Brennan is a former second row or flanker who represented Stade Toulousain and Leinster. Although he was capped by Ireland 13 times, he’s best known for an incident in 2007, where he struck a fan. The incident brought an end to his rugby-playing career.

Born 29 September 1973, Trevor Brennan enjoyed a stellar amateur career at Barnhall, Bective Rangers and St Mary’s College RFC. During this time, he captained St Mary's College RFC to the All-Ireland League title in 2000.

Trevor Brennan represented Leinster between 1996 and 2001 and made almost 50 appearances for the province. During this time, he was also capped by Ireland on 13 occasions, including at the 1999 Rugby World Cup.

Despite this, Trevor Brennan spent the majority of his domestic career in France, where he immediately fell out of favour with Ireland’s selectors. Between 2002 and 2007, he made 126 appearances for Stade Toulousain and won the Heineken Champions Cup twice, in 2003 and 2005. He also appeared in the 2004 final, when Stade Toulousain were beaten by Wasps. 


Trevor Brennan’s rugby-playing career came to an abrupt end in 2007, when he was banned for life after assaulting an Ulster fan during a match. After he was baited about the standard of a bar he owned, Trevor Brennan jumped into the crowd and struck a male supporter. Although his ban was later reduced to five years following an appeal, he retired from the sport before the results of the disciplinary process were known.

Since his retirement from the game, Trevor Brennan and his family have remained in Toulouse, where they continue to own a bar. He’s also stayed tied to the game and has worked as a coach. In addition, he also occasionally writes columns about his thoughts on the game and has appeared on television as a rugby commentator.
