Scott Lucas (footballer)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Scott Lucas (born 30 December 1977) is an Australian rules footballer for the Essendon Football Club in the Australian Football League.
Lucas is known for his strong marking and being a powerful, accurate left foot kick, although his apparent inability to kick with his right foot is almost as notable. Lucas once joked on The Sunday Footy Show in 2006 that the last time he kicked with his right foot was to Gary Moorcroft when he took the 2001 Mark of the Year.
He mainly plays across half-forward or centre half-forward, but can also play at centre half-back and full forward. He regularly has shots on goal from outside the 50-metre arc and rarely handballs.
He was awarded as an All-Australian in 2003.
In 2006 Lucas had an outstanding season for Essendon, being their main forward target in the absence of Matthew Lloyd and finishing the season with a career best 67 goals, giving him the title of Essendon's leading goalkicker. He capped off this season with his second Crichton Medal, winning with 239 votes from Jobe Watson (221).
[edit] Personal life
In 2001 he married Georgina Short. They now have 3 daughters - Mia Rose (born 12 December 2002), Hannah (born 12 July 2004) and Meg (born 26 May 2006)
