Kevin Bernard Moran (born 29 April 1956) is an Irish former footballer who excelled at the top levels in two codes: Gaelic and the association brand. In the sport of hurling his earliest appearance in Croke Park saw him and his team mates from CBS James Street lift the Fianna Fail Hurling Cup in 1967/68. Those early days set the seeds for his future success in Gaelic Football on the great Dubs team of the late 70s. Dublin county team, winning two All-Ireland Senior Football Championships with them, and in association football for his career with Blackburn Rovers, Manchester United and Ireland. In 1985 he became the first man to be sent off in an FA Cup Final.
