Luke Martin McCormick (born 15 August 1983) is an English professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Plymouth Argyle. He previously played for Plymouth between 2000 and 2008, but his contract was cancelled by mutual consent in July 2008 after he caused a car crash which killed two children. On 6 October 2008, he was sentenced to seven years and four months in prison, for two counts of causing death by dangerous driving and driving with excess alcohol.
McCormick was released from prison on 6 June 2012; he returned to football playing on non-contract terms for Truro City in November 2012, before returning to league football on 31 January 2013 with Oxford United. He was released at the end of the 2012–13 season and, in May 2013, re-signed for Plymouth Argyle on a one-year contract. In July 2014, McCormick was assigned the role of 'club captain' at Plymouth Argyle (although the current captain was Curtis Nelson). In August 2016, McCormick became captain of the club after Nelson joined Oxford United.
McCormick started the 2003–04 season at Plymouth Argyle as a backup for Romain Larrieu, but when the Frenchman sustained an injury to his cruciate knee ligaments, he soon proved himself a competent replacement. Upon winning a 2–0 game over on 24 January 2004, McCormick set a new club record of seven consecutive clean sheets, 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.
