I've always had a soft spot for him as a player, got his autograph at a pre-season friendly in Tolka Park back in the 90s and signed him a few times in Championship Manager.

Alan McLoughlin, hero of Ireland's '94 World Cup qualifying campaign, dies at 54...
McLoughlin won 42 caps for Ireland between 1990 and 1999, and is best remembered by Irish fans for scoring the crucial goal against Northern Ireland that secured the Republic’s qualification for the 1994 World Cup.
McLoughlin, who began his career as a trainee at Man United, revealed that he was suffering from cancer last March.


 
Very sad news. Like most of the players of that era, an absolute gentleman around us kids annoying them for autographs and pictures.....
