 In the 1926 final, he was closely marking Belfast Celtic's centre-forward Sammy Curran, thus preventing him from getting much time with the ball, when he was hit with a "fearful kick" from Curran's colleague, Jimmy Ferris.Moorhead spent much of the rest of the match trying to gain retribution against Ferris, allowing Curran to score three goals.Described as "an extremely consistent performer", Moorhead rarely missed a match for Linfield and on match days he used to walk from his home at Lurgan to Windsor Park in Belfast (21 miles) – he referred to this as his "morning dander".
