“For your consideration: The 1895 Trust, Shelbourne FC’s supporters’ trust, has launched Tosh – a new short documentary about lifelong Shels fan Tosh Moher.”
“The 1895 Trust, Shelbourne FC’s supporters’ trust, are holding an end-of-season social event this Friday at 7.30pm. Everyone is welcome along to celebrate the club, or just to celebrate the fantastic performers we’ll have on the night. Paul Curran (spoken word), Harbourmaster, Gavin White (from White Collar Boy) and Lewis Kenny (spoken word) are all performing in the Tolka Bar at Tolka Park [Richmond Rd, Drumcondra, Dublin] Tickets are €10 and can be bought on the door, with proceeds being evenly split between funding fixed costs related to the bar and The 1895 Trust….”
Mark ‘Sparky’ Rutherford arrived at league of Ireland club Shelbourne FC on loan from Birmingham City in 1991.
He has since played for Bohemians, Shamrock Rovers, St. Patrick’s Athletic and Longford Town.
And he’s still playing.

As part of FARE week, the 1895 Trust, the Supporters Trust for Shelbourne FC fans, has produced a documentary focusing on the career of Mark Rutherford. Rutherford talks about his career in Irish football, how he deals with discrimination and why, into his 40s, he still plays football.
The Trust is also working with Show Racism the Red Card and the FAI at tonight’s game in Tolka Park against Drogheda United to raise awareness of the aims of FARE week amongst fans of both clubs.
