Daily News | Even after breaking the Union’s heart, LAFC goalie John McCarthy is the ‘same dude’ from Mayfair
Los Angeles FC goalkeeper John McCarthy celebrates after making a save against Philadelphia Union, Kai Wagner in penalty kicks in the MLS Cup Championship game in Los Angeles.Only a few hours had passed since John McCarthy came off the bench to become MLS Cup MVP, so Jerry Brindisi wasn’t expecting his call to be answered.
McCarthy has proven to be more than a good story as he’s been one of the league’s best goalies this season. He ranks third in goals against per game and has saved 76% of his shots. McCarthy moved to Cinnaminson after his freshman year of high school but he still came over the bridge every morning. His dad, John, starred at Father Judge and his mom, Liz Anne, went to St. Hubert. Everything he knew was in Northeast Philly. So he stayed at North Catholic, recorded a shutout in the 2008 Catholic League Championship, and was the last goalie for one of the region’s all-time soccer powerhouses before North closed in June of 2010.
Later, Brindisi could feel the eyes of the bar turn to him once McCarthy entered in the 117th minute and the score tied. “I still smile when people mention it,” McCarthy said. “You dream about lifting trophies and the last time I lifted a trophy was with Jerry at North. You kind of take it for granted as a kid. You play in tournaments every other weekend and have a chance. This was an awesome moment and something you dream about as a player. It’s amazing.”Before McCarthy celebrated that night with his team, he watched the Phillies lose in the World Series.
