Eamonn Dolan (born September 20, 1967 in Dagenham) is an Irish-English ex-professional footballer, now working as a coach. Dolan played as a striker, beginning his career with West Ham, before moving on to Birmingham City and then Exeter City. Dolan joined Exeter in 1991, and this marked the beginning of a thirteen year association with the club, although he only managed 26 league appearances for the club as his career was cut short when he developed cancer. He survived the condition, and continued to serve the Grecians as Football in the Community Officer, Youth Coach, Caretaker Manager, and finally full-time manager, taking over after the club's relegation from the Football League in 2003^[1]. His first season in charge was fairly successful, steadying the ship after a difficult year, and almost qualifying for the playoffs, but he left the club in September 2004 to join Reading as Academy Manager^[2], a position he holds to this day^[3].

Twin brother of Pat Dolan.
