Douglas "Doug" McCarthy is an English former professional darts player who played in British Darts Organisation events in the 1970s and 1980s.
Career[edit]
McCarthy participated in four BDO World Darts Championships. He reached the second round twice, losing to John Lowe in 1979 and Jocky Wilson in 1980. In 1981, he lost in the first round to Ceri Morgan, and in 1982, he again reached the second round, losing to Bobby George. He also represented England 19 times and was part of the team, including Eric Bristow and John Lowe, that won the Europe Cup in 1978.
Nearly two decades after his last televised appearance, McCarthy qualified for the PDC World Grand Prix but lost in the first round to former World Champion Richie Burnett. McCarthy remains active in the game, playing in the 2008 Isle of Man Open and Super League darts in County Durham.
