Career

Shamrock Rovers

Moore signed for Shamrock Rovers in August 1988 and made his League of Ireland debut on the opening day of the 1988–89 season in a 1–0 loss to Athlone Town at Dalymount Park.[6]

He scored his first goal on 16 October in a 3–2 home win over Limerick.[7]

In a home game against Cork City on 11 November, Moore scored with a header for Rovers to lead 2–1 but then in injury time he caught the ball from a corner thinking the referee had blown the full-time whistle. Cork duly scored from the resultant penalty.[8]

He was sent off as Rovers lost at Limerick in December 1988.[9]

He made two appearances in the FAI Cup as well as 25 in the League.

Personal life

Moore came from a footballing family; his two brothers David and Kevin, his father Roy and his uncle Norman all also played for Grimsby Town.[10]
