He is known for his time as a Dublin player, winning two All- Ireland senior football championships with them, and for his footballing career with Manchester United FC and Ireland. He was the first man to be sent off in an FA Cup Final. Kevin Moran was fearless some would say wreckless and had the most stitched in football, not the best passer though this would improve his forte was winning the ball especially good in the air despite his height. In football, Moran starting playing with Dublin side Pegasus. He was spotted by Billy Behan, a Manchester United scout, who reported to United manager Dave Sexton, and Moran signed for Manchester United in 1978. He made his senior debut on April 20, 1979 against Southampton. Playing as a central defender, he won FA Cup medals with the club in 1983 and 1985. Moran is notable for being given a red card in the 1985 FA Cup Final against Everton, the first player ever to be sent off in an FA Cup final. TV cameras revealed that he had gone for the ball, and not for Peter Reid, in the offending tackle, and he was later presented with the winner's medal that had at first been withheld. Moran left Old Trafford as a 32-year-old in the summer of 1988. He transferred to Sporting Gijon, where he remained for two seasons making 33 appearances without scoring. In 1990, he returned to England to join Second Division Blackburn Rovers. He was an automatic choice in the first team, but endured a disappointing first season at Ewood Park as Rovers finished 19th in the Second Division. The following season was a huge success, however, as playoff victory ended the club's 26-year exile from the top division and secured their place in the new Premier League. Moran helped Rovers finish fourth in 1992-93 and runners-up in 1993-94, and finally retired at the end of the 1993-94 season - one year before Rovers won their first league title in 81 years. In both seasons preceeding Moran's retirement, Rovers were beaten to the title by his old club Manchester United. Moran made his debut for the Republic of Ireland against Sweden in 1980 and played a key role in Ireland's unsuccessful attempt to qualify for the 1982 World Cup finals in Spain. He played 71 times for Ireland between 1980 and 1994, including the European Championships in 1988 in Germany and the World Cup in 1990 in Italy, and scored 6 goals. He was also a member of the Irish squad at the World Cup in 1994 in the U.S. but did not play.
