SAS Rogue Heroes - Season 1 Episode 5

eoin was well known for carrying one further item which made him a much sought-after comrade - his silver cigarette case. a present from his grandparents, he felt it brought him luck and it reminded him of home.

from time to time ambrose would visit his old friend, and on one occasion, not long before blair passed away, he took with him his first son, named 'eoin' after his brother.

[…]blair seemed a little quiet and just said, 'so this is eoin… i have something i have been meaning to give to you for some time.' […] blair went into the house, came back with a small rectangular package wrapped in material and gave it to eoin. blair said, 'this used to belong to your uncle - he was a great friend of mine. you're very like him and i know he would've liked you to have it…but perhaps not use it for a few more years yet.' eoin waited until they were back in the car and then quickly started to unwrap the package.[…] it was his uncle eoin's lucky silver cigarette case.

*Paddy is cooking* David: Any chance that’s for me? Paddy: It’s for Eoin. I’m planning on making some bad choices tonight, and I need them on my side. Bill: I never realized the forethought that went into being a disappointment.

— the reports are not all reliable, but it is said that when eoin and blair were playing chess one evening, keyes tried to interrupt their game and blair either knocked him unconscious or hit him and chased him out of the officers' mess at the point of a bayonet. when he came round, or things calmed down, keyes threatened to have blair placed under close arrest. however, knowing all too well blair's standing amongst the men, keyes never followed through.
