The death statement shared by Mountmellick Utd FC describes Eoin as:

“It seems like a cliché but everyone associated with Eoin knew he was a kid destined for great things. He started his soccer journey with us as a 7-year-old at our academy and instantly showed what would make him stand out for the rest of his life. Considerably stronger than players his age, Eoin looked out of place amongst the others in the academy setup, but that was only a sign of things to come because, for the rest of his tragically short sporting career, he was always the one that stood out. He dominated games, taking them by the scruff of the neck and encouraging his teammates to do the same.

Nothing but his best was ever good enough, and it was that attitude and desire that saw Eoin captain every team he played on through the age groups and led to his selection on every region and league representative panel that was going.

As good as he was with his feet and his head, he was just as good with his heart. He was a humble winner and displayed sportsmanship and a sense of fair play that even the game’s most lauded global stars could learn a thing or two from. His dad Kevin was by his side for every step of his sporting journey, coaching teams that relied hugely on the input from their star man, his son Eoin.”

“An avid soccer fan, Eoin’s two main loves in the game where Liverpool and Shamrock Rovers. Any of Eoin’s managers and teammates will testify that Eoin had all the hallmarks of a player who could have gone on to don the famous green and white hoops of Rovers or even the all-red of Liverpool FC. We all know how good Eoin was and how great he would have been, but fate intervened, and unfortunately for us here at the club, for the wider sporting world, but most of all for his adoring family, we will never see this young superstar develop into the wonderful sportsman and even better man that he undoubtedly would have been.”
