While a former LOI player getting involved with Drogs is obviously disappointing, it's not really a great surprise, and I'm more than a little surprised to see how much attention is being paid to this.

#NeverStopNotGivingUp
The jokes about him being Pats keeper coach just too obvious.[/QUOTE]
He really was Pats goalkeeper coach Though!
He saved a penalty from Eric Cantona in a Dundalk - Manchester United friendly in 1994. I'll never forget that!
Disappointed to hear about this, despite the fact that Eddie was my unseen nemesis when I was a promising young keeper. He was something of a local legend and people kept telling me I'd only ever be the second-best keeper from the area. Sorry that it's come to this.
He's not garnering much support on his tribute site's guestbook: http://pub18.bravenet.com/guestbook/1482127902/
A leading authority on League of Ireland football since 2003. You're probably wrong.
What is it with ex-Mons players these days filling up the column inches. People are gonna start thinking I am behind it all to stir up some publicity for us!!
He had a great season for us in our Premier Div winning season of 94/95 taking over the GK spot from Jody Byrne mid season. Cant recall exactly but he kept a superb amount of clean sheets in the run in.
I recall a programme article around the time, when he was quoted as saying the chance that Keely took on him with Dundalk was his 'last chance saloon'
He had a very difficult upbringing and his family circumstances weren't ideal, but thats still no excuse if he`s found guilty.
Anyway, i was very sad to hear of this news.
ps as metioned before, that penalty he saved from cantona in oriel circa 93/94 --------that was eric's first miss from the spot - its even in his book.
#DundalkFC - First Irish club to win an away game in Europe (1963), first Irish club to win points in a group stage in Europe (2016).
I guess Eddie was off his Van Box(tel). Ha ha ha, ho ho , I couldn't resist it, I nearly burst a blood vessel thinking that up.
I knew him when he was a tool now hes just a mule
I wish i did not know then what I dont know now
Jesus lads, it was only a bit of blow.
What he said, they should really be concentrating on the **** that's killing generations in certain areas: heroin.
And you ask me to help you??!! Man is evil!!!! Capable of nothing but destruction!
Dreadful news.
Going to be no end to this drought!
Van Boxtel to be jailed for ten years: http://balls.ie/football/former-loi-...drugs-charges/
