Jim Tuckey[a] (31 March 1899 – 30 April 1997) was a rugby league footballer in Australia's major competition, the New South Wales Rugby League (NSWRL).
In the early 1920s, Jim Tuckey played for Coolah in the Dunedoo district football competition.[10] In 1922, he moved to Sydney to join the police force, but having been unsuccessful in this he remained in Sydney where he played rugby union for the Eastern Suburbs.[9][11][12] The following year, Tuckey was playing for the Eastern Suburbs rugby league club in the reserve grade.[13] He made his first grade debut in the opening match of the 1924 season against Newtown,[14] and his final appearance in August 1924 in a City Cup match against South Sydney in which he left the game with a fractured rib.[15][16]
Notes
- ↑ The name is given as Jim Tuckey on the Sydney Roosters Honour Roll, although it was listed as C. Tuckey in 2022.[3][4] C. Tuckey appears in several sources as does E. and G. Tuckey. Newspaper reports for the Eastern Suburbs match against Balmain (24 May 1924) use all three[5][6][7] with the Mudgee Guardian giving the name here as Jim Tuckey[8] and elsewhere as James Tuckey.[9]
