A goalkeeper, his international debut at the age of 19 was on 6 May 1970 as a substitute in a 2–1 defeat against Poland. He made his 19th and final international appearance on 21 November 1979 in a 1–0 defeat against Northern Ireland. Kearns began his club career in his hometown at Oxford United and went on to make 67 appearances between 1969 and 1972. After loan stints at Plymouth Argyle and Charlton Athletic, Kearns joined West Midlands club Walsall where he spent the majority of his career and made 249 appearances between 1973 and 1979. After a short two-year spell with Wolverhampton Wanderers, Mick returned to Walsall to close out his career, making a further 26 appearances between 1982 and 1985 before retiring aged 35. Kearns then went on to take up the post of Community Director at Walsall Football Club until his retirement in 2014.[2] Personal lifeMick's younger brother Ollie Kearns was also a successful professional footballer, but as a goal scorer not keeper. He enjoyed a high-scoring League career throughout the 70s and 80s with Reading, Walsall, Hereford and Wrexham; then scored the newly founded Rushden & Diamonds first-ever goal.
