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.[3]
He scored his first goal on 16 October in a 3–2 "home" win over Limerick.[4]
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.[5]
He was sent off as Rovers lost at Limerick in December 1988.[6]
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.[7]
