Brian COTTER

Sincere condolences to the Cotter family on the sad passing of Brian.
I have many fond memories of Brian putting us through our paces on training nights in Edenderry RFC during the '70's. He had wonderful knowledge of the game and was an excellent coach.
May Brian rest in peace.

Rip Brian
Deepest sympathies to all the Family.
Remember Brian from O'Briens shop and at Edenderry Rfc
May He Rest in Peace

Isobel & family, so very sorry to hear of Brian’s passing. He was a great coach to so many of us in Rathmines ...... where we tested his patience on more than one occasion no doubt! I really enjoyed his company and appreciated his insight on rugby, rugby players, rugby tactics and rugby referees! Great guy to spend time with in the Rugby Club too. Left an indelible mark on our rugby lives. May he rest in peace.

My sincere condolences to Valerie and family on the sad passing of her brother Brian a St. Mary's stalwart of both school and rugby club.
May he rest well

To Brian & family please accept my deepest condolences on the death of your dear father and grandfather Brian. May it help to know that others are thinking of you at this sad time.
Love never dies.

As a lover of all sports, though from a Gaelic Football and hurling family, and a few years behind him in age, I remember Brian well from his days sending torpedoes from the base of scrums and rucks, initially for his school and later for his club, astutely marshalling the eight in front of him, and bravely dealing with the marauding eight breaking through on him.

I don’t recall ever speaking with Brian - I can’t remember if he lined out alongside the Deerings for Braemor Road against Oakdown Road, in casual summer soccer games - but such was his evident commitment to the cause of the White Star, that I admired him from afar. Perhaps the closest I ever got to Brian was with the fairer sex Deerings at rugby club dances!

Sincere condolences to Valerie and and extended Cotter family on the passing of your brother.
Rest In Peace

My deepest sympathies to the Cotter family on the sad passing of Brian, an absolute gent. Many great chats after games in the club, remembered every minute detail of them. Obviously a legend during his involvement in the school as Captain and Coach. He will be sorely missed. Rest in peace Brian.

Sincere sympathy to Isabel and all the Cotter family on the sad passing of a St Marys College legend and a lovely unpretentious man, whom I knew over many years.I believe that the 25thMarch 1961 was the happiest day of my school life when Brian held aloft the Leinster Senior Cup at Lansdowne road, running back to Rathmines beside the Fanagans car which held Brian and the Cup on high,until we reached the school,exhausted but elated.May Brian Rest in Peace.

Isobel & the Cotter family. So sad to hear of Brian’s passing. Very happy memories of Brian in Churchtown in late fifties. We are so sorry for your loss. May he rest in peace.

On behalf of the St. Mary’s College Past Pupils’ Union, we wish to express our deepest sympathies to Isabel, Brian, Stephen and the entire Cotter family on the passing of Brian.

Brian Cotter was a great Mary’s man in every sense. As captain of the historic first SCT-winning team in 1961, coach of the victorious 1994 squad, and President of the PPU in 1987–1988, he gave so much of himself to the College and the wider Mary’s community. His leadership, generosity of spirit and lifelong commitment to the blue and white have left a lasting legacy.

Our thoughts and prayers are with his family at this difficult time.
May he rest in peace.
