For anyone who's not old enough to remember the early 90s Down won 2 all irelands and had a huge battle with a outstanding Meath team in 94 and our Eamon drove this Down team forward from Midfield scoring 2 fantastic points. Yourjoking (USA) - Posts: 705 - 10/10/2019 13:34:33 2242560 Link 3 |

So so sad a great player. Didn't know him personally but always came across as a lovely man.. he took on the down job when they were in transition but his heart was always in the right place a true down legend. RIP eamon rorysboys (Donegal) - Posts: 2404 - 10/10/2019 14:35:52 2242572 Link 0 |
I didn't know him personally, but it's so sad when anybody that young dies, and even more so one who devoted so much of his time down through the years giving so much joy to others. May he rest in peace. gilly1910 (Galway) - Posts: 170 - 10/10/2019 16:13:51 2242601 Link 0 |

Big loss. That was a special Down team. Played like they were born to win. i had emigrated to England the previous day. Wandering around Birmingham that Sunday and saw the game in the Irish Centre. It wasn't just the win, but the self-confident manner of it. Made my day tbh. essmac (Tyrone) - Posts: 1141 - 10/10/2019 17:10:13 2242617 Link 0 |
Very sad. Appeared to be a very humble and genuine man. A fine player in his day. May he rest in peace and may his family get the strength to overcome his massive loss. neverright (Roscommon) - Posts: 1648 - 10/10/2019 18:51:12 2242631 Link 0 |

As a Donegal man I remember attending my first all Ireland final in 1991 and cheering for down like a lunatic. Eamonn Burns capped a fine display that day with 2 fine points. An elegant footballer, are dheis de. totalrecall (Leitrim) - Posts: 916 - 10/10/2019 21:10:45 2242676 Link 0 |
