my son just told me its mark farren wish this lad all the best .
Ya very brave WR, really good player as well. Very talented lad he has had that for the last 2 years hardly played the Year Derry went down. Hopefully his health will improve wish him the best of luck.
Mark Farren it is.
Head Tumour came to light at the end of the 09 season & hasnt been at his best this year but still scored 20. 5 years ago he won the league player of the year & despite being from Donegal he got adopted by the Randy-Brandywell! [:)]
It was a shock last week when news of his retirement broke after the match. Just a day previous there was a report about him closing in on Liam Coyle's record for record Derry City goalscorer. Amongst the team it was known however as he was subbed on 90 mins against Monaghan & shook hands with every team mate. The City players all wore Mark Farren t-shirts for the presentation.
At 28 (younger than myself) it is a hell of alot for any young man to deal with-never mind an athlete. all the best Mar(on the off chance you read this).
