Biography
Born in Dublin, Fagan was educated at Blackrock College and suffered from rheumatic fever as a child, which kept him from playing sport for a number of years. He studied medicine at Trinity College Dublin.[1]
Fagan, a strong scrummaging prop forward, represented Leinster and North Midlands.[2] His Ireland call up came via Birmingham club Moseley, as he was based at Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham.[3][4] He gained three Ireland caps during the 1956 Five Nations, debuting against France at Colombes.[5]
