Gary Spain is probably a better man to answer this than me, but Eoin joined the club from Portsmouth at the end of the 1979 season.Under his guidance Limerick won their first league title in 20 years in 1980, and the FAI Cup in 1982, beating Bohemians 1-0 in a Dalymount decider. He also managed the Republic of Ireland National side in this time, being desperately unlucky not to qualify for the 1982 world cup finals in Spain.
Limerick also played in the European Cup(Real Madrid), UEFA Cup(Southampton) and Cup Winners Cup(AZ67 Aalkmaar) under Hands leadership,and he managed and played in unquestionably the greatest Limerick side of all time.
