David Lucas

Preston North End

As a young goalkeeper, Lucas started his career at Preston North End. He went on to spend nearly ten years as a professional at the Lancashire club, punctuated by loan appearances for Darlington, Scunthorpe and Sheffield Wednesday. Lucas was capped by England under-18 and under-20 teams while a Preston player. Whilst at Preston, he won two divisional championship medals in 1996 and 2000 as North End won the third and second division titles and, in May 2001, he was part of Preston's unsuccessful first division playoff final team that lost 3-0 to Bolton. Regularly sharing glove duty with Preston's other goalkeeper Teuvo Moilanen, Lucas remained at his boyhood club until 2004 when, like his Finnish counterpart, he was moved on by new manager Craig Brown.

Sheffield Wednesday

Lucas had another spell at Sheffield Wednesday, having signed a permanent deal with the Yorkshire side in the summer of 2004 after impressing during his two loan spells the previous season. During Wednesday's promotion season of 2004–05, Lucas made 41 appearances for the team and totalled 15 clean sheets, despite twice having to battle against injuries. Lucas started the first 18 matches of Sheffield Wednesday's 2005–06 campaign before a knee injury again ruled him out until January. His comeback was short-lived and Lucas was injured again against Millwall on 4 February 2006 after playing only two full games; the new injury again ruled him out until January 2007. Lucas…
