Brendan Sloan (1948 – 24 March 2016) was a Northern Irish Gaelic footballer who played as a right corner-back for the Down senior team.
Sloan made his debut on the inter-county scene at the age of seventeen when he first linked up with the Down minor team in 1966.
[4] On 11 June 1967, Sloan made his senior championship début in a 3–9 to 1-10 Ulster quarter-final defeat of Derry.
Brendan Lynch's goal from a close-in free in the 59th minute came too late as Down secured a 2–12 to 1–13 victory and an All-Ireland medal for Sloan.
[citation needed] After losing three successive Ulster finals between 1973 and 1975, Down experienced a resurgence in 1978 as Sloan was in the twilight of his career.
