Eoin "Mugsy" Mulligan (sometimes spelled Owen Mulligan) is an Irish Gaelic football player. He helped Tyrone win the 2005 All-Ireland Final and now plays in Chicago for St. Brendans. His instantly recogniseable bleached-blonde hair, coupled with his talent on the pitch has marked him out as one of the bright young stars of Gaelic Football.

[edit] Senior career

Eoin is a member of the current generation of Tyrone players that have enjoyed unprecedented success on the All-Ireland stage. He was part of the Tyrone team that won the All-Irelands in 2003 and 2005.
His best-remembered performance is probably against Dublin in the drawn All-Ireland Quarter Final, when he scored what the RTE commentator described as "one of the great goals we have seen at Croke Park". When Tyrone were on the backfoot, Mulligan picked up a pass from Stephen O'Neill on the 45m line. He turned his marker, and started heading goalward, dummying two more defenders out of the tackle, and shooting the ball past an oncoming Dublin player and the goalie to rocket the net.
