Football player funeral

James Moore had played for Irish League clubs Cliftonville, Donegal Celtic and Larne and most recently had been captain of Willowbank FC, based on the Falls Road in Belfast, where he also helped coach youth squads.

Mr Moore had been pictured hours before his death at Windsor Park where he was trying to gain entry to the Linfield vs Celtic game.

A lifelong fan of Celtic, the 24-year-old was engaged to be married.

Willowbank FC described the player as a “role model to young people”.

Police are not treating the sudden death of Mr Moore as suspicious.

His Requiem Mass will take place this afternoon at St Paul’s Church on the Falls Road at 1pm.
