Luke McCormick (footballer, born 1983): Difference between revisions

Luke McCormick, (born 15 August 1983 in Coventry, England) is a Goalkeeper for the English football team Plymouth Argyle.

McCormick started the 2003–04 season as a backup for Romain Larrieu, but when Larrieu sustained an injury to his cruciate knee ligaments, he soon proved himself a competent replacement. Upon winning a 2–0 game over Stockport County on 24 January, 2004, McCormick set a new club record of seven consecutive clean sheets (games without conceding a goal), leading him to be voted the most promising player of the 2003–04 season by Plymouth Argyle fans.

Larrieu regained his place as first choice keeper shortly into the 2004–05 season. In October 2004, the Plymouth Argyle manager, Bobby Williamson sent McCormick on loan to Boston United of League Two, so that he could continue playing first-team football.

Linked with a move away to Leicester with former Argyle manager Ian Holloway, McCormick put in a series of important and impressive displays in the final matches recent of the 2007/8 season.

McCormick was arrested on June 7, 2008 on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving. His Range Rover was involved in a collision with a Toyota Previa at 05:45am near to Keele Services on the M6 in Staffordshire. The crash resulted in the death of Aron and Ben Peak, aged 10 and eight from the Manchester area.^[1] Three others who were at the scene sustained injuries not thought to be life threatening.^[1] On June 8, McCormick was charged with two counts of causing death by dangerous driving, having excess alcohol in his blood and driving with no insurance.^[2]
