Timeline

1922

Peter Desmond Farrell (16 August 1922 – 16 March 1999) was an Irish footballer who played as a right-half for, among others, Shamrock Rovers, Everton and Tranmere Rovers.

As an international, Farrell also played for both Ireland teams – the FAI XI and the IFA XI.

1933

After Martin had put the FAI XI ahead with a penalty in the 33rd minute, Farrell made victory certain in the 85th minute.

Tommy O'Connor slipped the ball to Farrell and as the English goalkeeper Bert Williams advanced, Farrell lofted the ball into the unguarded net.

1939

He was playing football with Cabinteely Schoolboys when spotted by a Shamrock Rovers scout and subsequently joined Rovers on his 17th birthday in August 1939.

Among his early team-mates was the veteran Jimmy Dunne.

With a team that also included Jimmy Kelly, Tommy Eglington, Jimmy McAlinden and Paddy Coad, Farrell later helped Rovers reach three successive FAI Cup finals.

1944

They won the competition in 1944 and 1945 and finished as runners up in 1946.

1946

In July 1946, together with Tommy Eglington, Farrell signed for Everton.

In eleven seasons with the club he played 421 league games and scored 14 goals.

He also played a further 31 games in the FA Cup and scored a further 4 goals.

When Farrell began his international career in 1946 there were, in effect, two Ireland teams, chosen by two rival associations.

Both associations, the Northern Ireland–based IFA and the Ireland–based FAI claimed jurisdiction over the whole of Ireland and selected players from the whole island.

As a result, several notable Irish players from this era, including Farrell, played for both teams.

Farrell made 28 appearances and scored three goals for the FAI XI.

While still at Shamrock Rovers, he captained the FAI XI on his international debut on 16 June 1946, against Portugal.

Farrell also made seven appearances for the IFA XI between 1946 and 1949.

On 27 November 1946 he made his debut for the IFA XI in a 0–0 draw with Scotland.

Together with Johnny Carey, Con Martin, Bill Gorman, Tommy Eglington, Alex Stevenson and Davy Walsh, he was one of seven players born in the Irish Free State to play for the IFA XI that day.

1947

The draw helped the team finish as runners-up in the 1947 British Home Championship.

Farrell also helped the IFA XI gain some other respectable results, including a 2–0 win against Scotland on 4 October 1947 and a 2–2 draw with England at Goodison Park on 5 November 1947.

Farrell was born and raised in the Convent Road area of Dalkey and was educated at Harold Boy's National School and the Christian Brothers in Dún Laoghaire, which he won a scholarship to.

On 21 September 1949, together with Johnny Carey and Con Martin, he was a member of the FAI XI that defeated England 2–0 at Goodison Park, becoming the first non-UK team to beat England at home.

He was never sent off during his spell at Goodison Park.

His third goal came on 30 May 1951 as Farrell scored the opening goal in a 3–2 win against Norway.
