Last season, McCarthy played south west of Sweden for the Les Spartiates
des Amiens (Amiens is the city) in France. The Spartiates play in the top
league (Elite League) in the northern division. The team posted a respectable
7-4 record which was good enough to make the playoffs. Again, McCarthy was
a do-it-all player for the Spartiates as he played Defensive End, Tight End and
Long Snapper.
Patrick McCarthy is an ambassador of American football by representing the
past, present, and future of this great game. He volunteers his time as a youth
team football coach and offers his services as a personal trainer. McCarthy is
also involved with physical education classes and after school programs
teaching children the history and fundamentals of football.

“Playing football overseas has given me tremendous rewards, says McCarthy. I
was given a chance to continue my football career along with the ability to travel
and live in places that would have been impossible due to finances. Living in a
foreign country is a challenge at times, but the rewards far outweigh the
challenges. I have experienced different cultures and have lived the life as a
European. Instead of just passing through countries as a tourist for a couple
days, I have lived the lifestyle. It truly has been a blessing.”
“I have also had the opportunity to meet some great people that would have
never been possible without this game of football. It has increased my
perception of the world. Three years ago, I could not have imagined myself
living in two foreign countries for months at a time. I have been so fortunate to
have visited many places and introduced to many interesting people.”
