Eoin Liston is an All-Ireland winning Gaelic footballer from County Kerry.

Nicknamed "the Bomber", the bearded full-forward played for the Kerry County football team in the late 1970s and 1980s and terrorised defences with his attacking style and eye for goal. He shared the position with Mikey Sheehy, another talented footballer. He won the all-Ireland U21 Championship with Kerry in 1977. The Bomber won two National Football league division one titles with Kerry in 1982, 1984. His all-Ireland winning years are 1978, 1979, 1981, and Kerrys famous treble between 1984 and 1986.

The number 14 went on to win seven All-Ireland senior football medals and four GAA All Stars Awards. He is notable for his three goals against arch-rivals Dublin in the 1978 final. Recently he is largely involved with charities close to his heart. Eoin had emerged as the favourite to become the next Kerry Senior Football manager.[1] He later ruled out that possibility.[2].

He has served as a selector under Sean Boylan for the Irish compromise rules football team in 2006. [3]
