Eduardo Antonio "Tony" Laing Cárcamo (b. 1959, Puerto Cortes, Honduras) is a former Honduran footballer and member of the Honduras national football team, known for his game-tying goal against Northern Ireland in the 1982 FIFA World Cup.
Laing started playing professional soccer in Honduras at age 17, and is the fourth all-time leading scorer for C.D. Platense. He also played for C.D. Marathón, as well as in Greece and El Salvador, before retiring as a player in 1997.[1]
In 1982, Laing was named to the Honduras World Cup team as a reserve. He entered as a substitute in the 58th minute of Honduras's second game, against Northern Ireland, and scored the game-tying goal in the 60th minute on a header off a corner kick.[2] Laing also appeared in the 1985 CONCACAF Championship, scoring two goals for Honduras in qualifying play.
In 2007, Laing moved to New Orleans, Louisiana, where he coaches amateur soccer and works as a painting contractor.[1]
