One of those players even when he was knocking them in against my team, I just couldn't dislike ! Fabulous striker, Rest in Peace Mark.
Saddened to hear this. RIP.
Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam dílis
One of the greats, R.I.P.
Awful news, condolences to his friends and family. RIP Mark.
Brutal news.
Condolences to his family and to all Derry folk
RIP Mark Farren. Condolences to his friends and family. Met the guy once seemed really honest and genuine.
The truth fears no questions...
It's only when the tide goes out that you learn who's been swimming naked
Shocked to hear this. One of the great goal scorers this league has seen. The LOI family has lost one of its leading lights. RIP
Desperately sad news. In 15 or so years following LOI Farren was one of the best I've seen, one of them who you would always have loved to see wearing your team's shirt, not just for his goals but also for his commitment to his club. A true great and a truly courageous man.
The Leinster Senior League needs a strong Bohemians
"Derry City Football Club have made the decision to henceforth retire the Number 18 jersey worn by Mark Farren during his time at the club as a tribute to the club's all time leading goalscorer. #Farren18"
heard the sad news. shocked at Marks sudden passing. he was one of my all time strikers.. may he RIP.
Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?
Pretty gutted. An absolute hero.
Maribor Kev of this parish has published a tribute to Mark on the Derry City website. Worth a read. RIP Mark.
Ou-est le Centre George Pompidou?
From the Indo -
Didn't know that either. Just one bad luck story after another.His funeral Mass will be held in St Mary's Church, Ballybrack, Co Donegal, tomorrow, and he will be laid to rest beside his children - Terri, Marlie and Millie - who tragically died in 2014 shortly after their premature birth
Christ almighty.His funeral Mass will be held in St Mary's Church, Ballybrack, Co Donegal, tomorrow, and he will be laid to rest beside his children - Terri, Marlie and Millie - who tragically died in 2014 shortly after their premature birth
His poor wife. How could you even begin to cope with all that?
Never knew about his children - that's an incredible tragedy. Mark was a great goalscorer and a very brave man, but a really classy footballer too - not just a goalscorer.
Knew about the loss of the children and Mark has been battling for years himself through it all. Just an absolute tragic situation all round. Mark was one of the soundest fellas you'd ever meet, had time for everyone and was a cracking footballer, don't think you'd find many, if any, loi heads who would have had a bad word to say about him nor snapped the hand off you to have him playing up front for them. RIP Mark and forgive my French but **** cancer, an absolute ******* of a disease.
Just a note. The scenes before last nights game in Finn Park would have brought a tear to a glass eye. Marks family were in Finn Park as special guests of Harps and were on the field before the game as a minutes applause was shared by 5,000 people in memory of a League of Ireland legend.
