News Shane Tuck the gentleman

[Pounce]

A good article on The Roar about what kind of person Shane Tuck is off the field. Tucky always came across as a good bloke and didn't complain when he wasn't in the senior side.

Always loved Tucky. Was saddened when he announced. Hopefully he goes on to a great post footy life.......

I really liked the last line, how Tucky texted his old neighbour back to say he wasn’t missing footy. That’s great to hear. It can’t be easy for these blokes to leave the game, and Tucky was a bloke who gave the game everything he had, every week. It’s awesome that his happy with his life after footy.

so many footballers retire and live out their past glories, not s tuck. he was not raised that way. he is not that sort of person.
ahh hail tucky, long live the king. the king is dead.

He tried playing like this, with a ****ed up shoulder and in massive amounts of pain he still tried to support the team.

Warrior.

Had the pleasure of having Shane Tuck come down to our Auskick clinic. He was sensational. Just a really really good guy.

Champion pure and simple - can still remember his speech when he told the playing group he was hanging the boots up. Great video worth watching if you haven't seen it.

He sounded genuinely happy and proud of his career and had no regrets - from this article, that definitely seems the case!

Great mentor for the younger players and an utmost professional during some pretty lean years.
