All at Bohemians are saddened to hear of the passing of former player Mick Kearin.
After joining from St. Patrick’s Athletic where he had played as a youth he became one of a number of exciting, attacking young players who made their name under the guidance of manager Seán Thomas.
Despite being a full amateur side Bohs enjoyed back to back third-place finishes in the 1964-65 and 1965-66 seasons with Mick often featuring among the goals from midfield.
Mick then moved to Shamrock Rovers winning three FAI Cups, and it was with Rovers that he won his only cap, appearing against Austria in 1971, in the process becoming the first man from Kildare to be capped by the FAI.
There was a return to Dalymount for Mick in the 1973-74 season before he finished his career with Athlone Town.
Mick passed away aged 82. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.
