Michael "Mick" Byrne (born 14 January 1960 in Dublin) was an Irish football player during the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s.
Playing career
He made his Bohs debut in the 1979 FAI League Cup final win over Shamrock Rovers on 22 March 1979. He made his League of Ireland debut three days later.
He had a spell at Shelbourne, where he was Player of the Month in February 1982.
He attracted the interest of Manchester City during his time at Shels.
In each of his three seasons at Milltown he won the domestic double as well as representing the League in the Olympic qualifiers. He was the league top scorer in the 1986/87 season and made 6 appearances in European competition. Transfer talks with St. Etienne and Feyenoord didn't work out so after 72 goals in 146 games, in January 1988 Mick signed for FC Den Haag thus ending an extraordinarily successful period at Rovers.
He briefly re-signed for Rovers again in July 1988 but after 3 goals in 6 games he left for Huddersfield Town F.C. the following month for £20,000. After two seasons in which he scored 11 goals in 56 league games, he came back to Rovers for the club's first season in the RDS but left in January 1991 after 5 goals in 20 appearances for Sligo Rovers as the club had an abundance of strikers. At Sligo he scored 6 goals in 34 total appearances, 27 in the league.
