Maurice Swan

Maurice Michael George Swan (born 27 September 1938) is an Irish former professional footballer.

Maurice was the youngest player to ever play in the League of Ireland for many years, and at the time of writing, is still the youngest goalkeeper to debut in the League of Ireland, at the age of 15, saving a penalty on his debut.

He won his only international cap for the Republic of Ireland national football team on 18 May 1960 when he replaced Noel Dwyer at half time in a 4–1 defeat to Sweden in Malmö.

His brother Tony Swan also played in goal in the League of Ireland for Bohemians, Drogheda and Athlone during the same time as Maurice.

After his professional playing career ended, Swan started a career in the Irish film industry as an electrician, eventually becoming one of Ireland's most successful head electricians, or gaffer, on many TV productions, commercials, music videos, films, and documentaries.
