Daniel Christopher Flanagan (24 November 1924 – January 2019), also known as Donal Flanagan, was an Irish amateur footballer who played as a centre forward. He was also a sprinter and rugby union player.
Born in Dublin, Flanagan played for St James's Gate, Dundalk, Huddersfield Town, Notts County, Shelbourne, Manchester City and Bradford City.[2] [3]
He scored a hat-trick on his League of Ireland debut for St James's Gate at the age of 18.[1] He was close to signing with Bohemians, but their schedule clashed with his rugby career and he signed for Dundalk instead.[1]
He scored 2 goals in 2 League games for Notts County, but declined professional terms and returned to Ireland, before signing for Manchester City.[1]
For Bradford City he made 13 appearances in the Football League, scoring 6 goals.[4]
