Career
Northampton Town
A full back, Tucker began his career at Fourth Division club Northampton Town in 1970.[1] After making his debut the following year, he went on to be a regular fixture in the team throughout the 1970s, making 214 league appearances and scoring three goals before departing the County Ground in February 1978.[1] A memorable moment was helping the club to promotion to the Third Division during the 1975–76 season,[2] though the Cobblers were relegated at the first attempt.[3]
Brentford
Tucker followed his former Northampton Town manager Bill Dodgin, Jr. to Fourth Division club Brentford in February 1978 in a £10,000 deal.[4] He went into the starting lineup at left back later that month and helped the Bees to promotion to the Third Division with a fourth-place finish at the end of the season.[5] He missed only five league games over the course of the 1978–79 and 1979–80 seasons and despite missing most of 1980–81 due to a contractual dispute,[4] he came back strong in 1981–82, making 38 league appearances and scoring four of the five goals he scored for the club.[6] After his seventh appearance of the 1982–83 season, Tucker departed Griffin Park.[6] He made 181 appearances and scored five goals in four-and-a-half years with Brentford.[6]
Return to Northampton Town
Tucker returned to Northampton Town in October 1982, with the club still rooted in the Fourth Division.[1] He made 63 league appearances and scored five goals before retiring from football in 1984.[1] Tucker made 302 appearances and scored 8 goals across his two spells with the Cobblers.[7]
Personal life
After his retirement from football, Tucker settled in Northampton and as of November 2013 was working for FG Metcalfe.[2]
