Luke McCormick (born 15 August 1983 in Southwark, England), is a goalkeeper for the English football team Plymouth Argyle.
He started the 2003–04 season as a backup for Romain Larrieu. However Larrieu sustained an injury to his cruciate knee ligaments and McCormick soon established himself as being a competent replacement. A 2–0 victory over Stockport County on 24 January 2004 saw McCormick set a new club record of seven consecutive clean sheets (games without conceding a goal).
His successful performances have led to the Argyle fans creating the following chant:
- Super, Super Luke
- Super, Super Luke
- Super, Super Luke
- Super Luke McCormick
He was 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.
