He was born in Athlone, Ireland. As an international he also played for both Ireland teams - the FAI XI and the IFA XI.[1] At the outbreak of the Second World War, Farrell joined the RAF and after completing his service set up a dental practice in Hull. Club careerBohemiansFarrell began his career playing junior football with Home Farm before joining Bohemians where his team mates included Fred Horlacher and Billy Jordan. He was initially restricted to the reserves until coach Bill Lacey spotted a fault in his running style. Intensive coaching corrected the problem and Farrell subsequently played a prominent role in Bohs FAI Cup run during the 1934–35 season. Farrell first scored in the 5-2 second round win against Waterford United. He also scored the winner in the semi-final replay against that seasons eventual League of Ireland champions, Dolphins. Farrell played in the final against Dundalk but had to go off injured with over 30 minutes remaining. Despite this, the remaining 10 men held on for a 4–3 win. HibernianFarrell’s performances in the FAI Cup soon attracted the attention of Hibernian. His mother initially had doubts about the move but was impressed with the terms offered. As well as an £800 signing on fee, Farrell was also to attend the University of Edinburgh where he would study dentistry with Hibs paying the fees and arranging training around his lectures. Irish internationalWhen Farrell played international football between 1937 and 1938, there were in effect, two Ireland teams, chosen by two rival associations. The IFA and the FAI both 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. FAI XIIn 1937 Farrell made two appearances for the FAI XI. In May 1937 the FAI organised a European tour with a squad that included Tommy Breen, Jackie Brown and Jimmy Dunne as well as Farrell. Farrell made his debut for the FAI XI on 17 May in a 1–0 win against Switzerland. A week later, on 23 May, he also helped the FAI XI defeat France 2–0. This would prove to be his last appearance for the FAI XI. IFA XIOn 16 March 1938 Farrell made his only appearance for the IFA XI in a 1–0 win against Wales at Windsor Park. HonoursBohemians
