Eamonn McGuire

Eamonn Paul McGuire (28 June 1939 — 14 September 2013) was an Irish rugby union international.

McGuire, born and raised in Galway, was a speedy flanker who learnt his rugby during his time at St Joseph's College.

[2] Capped eight times for Ireland, McGuire debuted in a rare 0–0 draw against England at Lansdowne Road in the 1963 Five Nations Championship.

He had a disallowed try in Ireland's one-point loss to the All Blacks later that year, with the referee deeming contentiously that the ball wasn't grounded over the line.

He lived the remainder of his life in Dundalk and was for a period the Chief fire officer for County Louth.
