Luke Beckett (born November 25, 1976 in Sheffield) is an English professional footballer who plays for Huddersfield Town in Coca-Cola League One.
Beckett made his name as a striker scoring over 100 goals for Chester City, Chesterfield, and Stockport County before moving to Sheffield United in November 2004 for £50,000.
However, he never scored for the Blades and spent most of the his two seasons as a United player out on loan at Oldham Athletic and also at Huddersfield Town where his six goals in seven appearances in 2005 persuaded Terriers manager Peter Jackson to sign Beckett on 3 July 2006, for £85,000, on a three-year deal.[1]
Beckett is married to Tracy and has three daughters, including twins.
[edit] Trivia
£20,000 of his loan fee to Oldham was subsidised by Trust Oldham.
