A spokesperson said: “We as a club are devastated on learning of the sad passing of our much loved and respected member Aidan Mc Glynn.
“From his young days in Rockhill when he played in the Streets Leagues for Oldtown/Main St his love for St Eunan’s never wavered.
“Aidan, along with his brother Gareth, never missed a game, be it underage or the Senior Team, always supportive and always loyal.
“In recent years, Aidan was a vital part of the backroom team for various Senior team managers and played a key role in our many successes.
“Never one for the limelight, Aidan quietly went about his business and was loved by all the players who appreciated all he did for the team.
“We are heartbroken for Aidan’s wife Cathy, his parents, his brothers and sisters and his many friends.
“Aidan fought his illness with courage and dignity to the end.
“There was a tear in Aidan’s eye as he left after the recent Championship game against Gweedore as he maybe knew he’d watched his last game in O’Donnell Park.
“May God bless you wee man and may your gentle soul rest in peace.”
Mr McGlynn’s remains will be reposing at his late residence today, Friday, September 6, from 3pm until 8pm, and on Saturday, September 7 from 1pm until 8pm.
