First of all congrats for reaching the GF. As a closet saints fan since boyhood I well remember Eddie Cunningham the Uncle of Keiron playing for Saints. But, I never hear him mentioned or written about when commentators wax lyrical about his nephew. Can anyone enlighten me on his present association with the club and what older Saints fans thought of him (as a player). Thanks in advance.
There was an Eddie Cunningham wasn't there, I mean I didn't dream it up....did I?

There was, but he was Kieron's brother, not uncle. He was a little before my time, and I don't think he has any official connection with the club currently.

As above, Eddie is Keiron's elder brother.

He actually holds something over KC as he won the Lance Todd trophy in 1982 playing for Hull, an achievement which has eluded his more decorated younger brother! Cunningham has said in the past this is something Eddie takes great pleasure in reminding him of.

"Brother" don't know where I got "Uncle" from. At least it wasn't a dream. Thanks.

I think it would have been for Widnes, against Hull.

I stand corrected

used to own the british legion. dont know if he still does?

I was thinking Widnes too.

As the man in the surgical shoes said...

Easy mistake to make as Eddie is considerably older than Keiron.

Did you see him the other week playing in the Saints - Leeds final on BBC 4? He had a great game.

didnt he work as a mental hospital nurse at rainford ?
as a young wigan fan i can remember having a long discussion/argument with his uncle at knowsley road during a match
