Boy, killed in local train crash, dreamt of playing for Man Utd, funeral hears

Several gifts were brought to the altar to symbolise Eoin's loves in life – including football, his family, his dog, and computer games.

The mother of a 12-year-old boy, killed in a train crash in Co Mayo, said his dream was to play for Manchester United.

Eoin Doyle died when the car he was travelling in with his father collided with a train near Ballyhaunis last Thursday night.

The Ballyhaunis boy was in school and played football in Cloonfad, Co Roscommon.
