Eamonn ('Euwie') O'Connor
Eamonn O'Connor made his senior debut for the Seymour First XVIII side in the GVFL in 2011, following a highly decorated and very successful junior football career in the Seymour and District JFNL and as captain of the Assumption College First XVIII.
Football was a major part of Eamonn's life, his hardness at the ball against older, more mature, bodies impressed many keen GVFL judges.
It was a trait that became his signature as a midfielder.
Eamonn was 19 when his life was tragically cut short on Sunday 9 June 2013 as the result of an accident at Mount Hotham.
