Eaden was a near ever-present for Birmingham City in 2000-01 featuring mainly on the right wing in place of the injured Jon McCarthy.
Dependable and consistent throughout the campaign, he was very much an unsung hero for the Blues.
He impressed with some clever use of the ball and determined tackling and made the starting line-up for the Worthington Cup Final against Liverpool when City lost out so narrowly in a penalty shoot-out.
