John "Jack" "Sandman" Carvin (1 March 1878 – 9 November 1943) was an Irish Gaelic footballer. His championship career with the Meath, Dublin and Louth senior county teams spanned eighteen years from 1898 until 1916. He was a fascinating character described in 1946 by the legendary GAA writer Paddy Mehigan as "Louth’s greatest footballer". In 1889 his father's ship was run down by a steamer and he was sent to work in his uncle’s quarry in Bohernabreena - hence the nickname "Sandman". There with his exceptionally long arms and great strength he astounded the GAA people of Dublin and joined Kickhams.
