Mick McCarthy (22 December 1911 – 21 May 1973) was an Ireland international footballer who played as a goalkeeper.
McCarthy originally came from Blackrock, Cork and as a youth he played hurling as well as association football.
A number of Scottish clubs, as well as Birmingham City, made enquiries about signing him before he opted to join Rovers.
He made his debut against Bradford City on 27 August 1934 in a 5–2 league win, making nine appearances in total and keeping two clean sheets.
Despite been told he would never play again, McCarthy made a comeback and after a short spell at Brideville he rejoined Shamrock Rovers in 1936–37.
