Michael John "Micka" Brennan (29 September 1914 – 29 November 1987) was an Irish hurler who played as a left corner-forward for the Cork senior team.
Having won a minor championship medal in 1931, Brennan subsequently became a key member of the club's senior team.
[2] Brennan first came to prominence on the inter-county scene as a member of the Cork minor hurling team in 1931.
He enjoyed two seasons in this grade but had little success as Cork exited the provincial championship at an early stage in both years.
[citation needed] While still a member of the minor grade in 1932 Brennan joined the Cork junior hurling team.
[citation needed] Brennan also joined the Cork senior hurling team in 1932 but was an unused substitute for two championships.
While a draw looked likely as the hour drew to a close Paddy Phelan sent a seventy-yard free in towards the Cork goalmouth.
The sliotar was gobbled up by the defence and cleared, but only as far as Jimmy Kelly who sent it straight over the bar for a one-point lead.
Brennan lined out in the forwards for the final against Dublin, however, it turned into a one-sided affair thanks to contributing goals from Johnny Quirke and Ted O'Sullivan.
[4] Brennan played his championship game for Cork in an All-Ireland semi-final defeat of Galway in 1944.
