Éamon McLoughlin...

A broken leg sustained during his stint at St. Mel's Park, did for Eamon's soccer career. Was a lot better going forward than defensively but a sound bloke off the park. Has a talent for sh1t stirring in his present capacity though

Didn't we win the Fair Play award for Div 1 last season? I assume those lads don't count for our fair play. I don't think we've had one senior related suspension so far. Even Micko's been fairly tame.

Well to bring people up to speed. Here were some contenders for the title UCD Hardcore champions in the past.
1979-1985;1989-1990 Martin Moran (during his career in defence he was a striker in our first season grabbing 9 League goals)
1980-1985 Ken O'Doherty centre-forward in his early career made the centre-back position his own and won the F.A.I. Cup scoring the winning goal in the replay. Moved to Crystal Palace in 1985 and was unable to establish a regular first team place although he did play numerous games filling in as a full-back or sometimes at centre-back. Had a very successful spell at Huddersfield Town under Eoin Hand. Played one season with Shelbourne on his return to Ireland in 1993 and retired as a result of a back injury in 1994.
Never got to fulfill his ambition of playing his final season of footie with US.

1983-1985 Robbie Lawlor ; tough tackling full back from East Wall
Member of our F.A.I. Cup winning side in 1984 played V Everton etc, second highest scorer in the League in 1984/85 with 5 League goals.
Having spent one memorable match kicking a Shamrock Rovers left winger up and down the park with aplomb was sent off for mouthing to the linesman with 2 minutes to go when we were winning 1-0. We won 1-0 in the end.

1985-1990 Paul Fitzgerald; tough tackling full back from East Wall
Played as a regular in our 1988/89 Promotion winning season. Injuries during the following season marred his last season with us. Played briefly with Monaghan United before leaving the LOI.

I saw 9 in 10 in one of the Stigs from that era recently. Think he got sent off soon thereafter too!
