Éamonn Burns

Éamonn Burns, born on 24 January 1972, is a Gaelic footballer who played for Ballinascreen and the Derry county team in the 1990s and early 2000s. He was part of Derry's first ever All-Ireland Senior Football Championship winning side in 1993 and also won two Ulster Senior Football Championships and four National League titles. He had a distinguished underage career with the county, winning Ulster under-21, Ulster minor and All-Ireland minor medals, and he still plays club football with St Colm's Ballinascreen. He usually plays in the half forward line. He had massive promise at underage level and won a vast range of honours by the age of 21, although some feel he never reached his true potential at inter-county level, and he was hampered by injury throughout his career.
