Eoin Liston

Eoin Liston, known as Bomber and born on 16 October 1957 in Ballybunion, County Kerry, is an Irish former sportsperson who played Gaelic football with his local club Beale, his divisional side Shannon Rangers and at senior level for the Kerry county team between 1978 and 1993. He is regarded as one of the greatest full-forwards in the history of the game. In 1977 he was a member of the side that defeated Feale Rangers to take the county senior championship title, his only county championship victory, and he captured a Munster under-21 title that year before an All-Ireland under-21 winners' medal, when Kerry beat Down by 1-11 to 1-5. He never played minor football for Kerry. In May 2020 the Irish Independent named him among the dozens of brilliant players who narrowly missed selection for its top 20 footballers in Ireland over the past 50 years.
