Winger Mick Farrell played in the historic first Republic of Ireland (then the Irish Free State) international football match against Bulgaria at the Paris Olympics on 28 May 1924. He also played in the 2-1 extra-time defeat by Netherlands in the quarter-final. His third and final Ireland cap was in their first ever home game, against the USA at Dalymount Park, Dublin on 14 June 1924 (although some sources incorrectly say 16 June).
Farrell started work work for the Guinness brewery in 1921 and played for St. James’s Gate FC between 1923-28. He also had a brief spell at Drumcondra before his retirement in 1928. It is believed that two of his brothers, probably Henry and James, played for St. James’s Gate FC.
