Peter Hucker

Peter Hucker (born Hampstead, London, October 28, 1959 was a professional footballer (goalkeeper) in the 1980s.

He joined Queens Park Rangers as a schoolboy in December 1974, signed apprentice forms in July 1976 and turned professional in July 1977, making his league debut against Shrewsbury Town in 1981. He played for QPR in the 1982 FA Cup Final against Tottenham Hotspur in which he was voted the 'Man Of The Match' for his performance in the first game. Hucker had been at the club since he was a junior but had played very few games.He had seen a succession of managers bring their own preferred goalkeepers in while he bided his time in the reserves.

He got his big chance in a 3rd round FA Cup tie at Loftus Road in 1982 against Middlesbrough. The first choice keeper at the time, John Burridge, was injured but was also not very keen on playing on the synthetic playing surface that Loftus Road had at the time. Hucker played very well in the cup tie and retained his place for the remainder of the season.He was to play a key role the following season as well as QPR stormed to the Second Division title. He lost his place during the 1985-86 season and he transferred to Oxford United in February 1987.He finished his career in non-league football.
