Éamonn Goulding

Éamonn Goulding, whose full name was Edward J. Goulding, was an Irish hurler and Gaelic footballer born in 1934 and raised in Blackpool, Cork. He played hurling with the Glen Rovers club and football with its sister club St. Nicholas', and he lined out for Cork as a dual player in both codes. As a schoolboy he studied at the North Monastery and won the Dr. Browne and Dr. O'Callaghan Cups in 1951. At club level he won Cork senior hurling titles from 1953 to 1954 and again in 1958, 1959 and 1960. For Cork he won the 1951 All-Ireland minor hurling title, the 1953 All-Ireland junior football title and the 1954 All-Ireland senior hurling title, and he came on as a substitute in the 1956 All-Ireland senior football final, which Cork lost to Galway. He served as an officer in the Irish Army from 1955 until 1984, later managed a building society branch in Kilkenny, and died suddenly on 17 January 1995 while attending a funeral in Newbridge.
