Eamonn Dolan RIP

[Scutterbucketz]

Just seen on twitter that he's dead at 48.

Very sad news.

[Norfolk Royal]

RIP

[Scutterbucketz]

It's on the OS now. Died after a short battle with cancer.

[No Fixed Abode]

Blimey. RIP.

Absolutely terrible news, so many of the people associated with the club spoke highly of Dolan, he seemed like a very genuine bloke and his work with the academy can't be understated.

My thoughts are with his friends and family.

[From Despair To Where?]

A huge part of this club and crucial to the development of so many first team players over the years. Very sad loss

RIP

[Silver Fox]

He'll be sadly missed, RIP in peace

[royal_rumble]

Integral part of the club for so many years, and seemed like a real nice guy. RIP.

[Sutekh]

So very very very sad, so much more to give. Will be greatly missed.

he's dead at 48.

Such a young age

Really sad news as others have said.

[TFF]

Should've been the gaffer. RIP

[Pepe the Horseman]

Terrible news Seemed like a real decent guy, and has been a massive part of the club in the last decade. RIP.

Surely the club can do something, maybe in terms of naming something after him - to do with the academy etc

So the debate on what to call the north stand surely ends here...

[Binfield Royal]

Very sad news.

Deepest sympathies to his family and friends

[Sutekh]

Logically the youth set up should become the Eamonn Dolan Academy

[Top Flight]

Awful news. Was very sad to have learned about Eamonn's passing just now.

My condolences to his family. Rest in peace Eamonn.
