CenterLine Report: Huckerby back at The Buck
As the Buck Shaw Stadium game-day crew went about readying the grounds for tonight’s match against D.C. United, a curious case of déjà vu overcame the collected observers of the San Jose Earthquakes’ early-morning training session. With tattooed arms proudly displayed, and trademark spiked hair perfectly coifed, none other than Darren Huckerby was gliding down the left touchline on the Buck Shaw pitch and sending in shots on goal with that signature right-footed boot.

So I bought it. I read it. I loved it.
Until I found ‘Hucks’ I didn’t realise just how many players – cult heroes and journeymen alike – had written a book. Paul Sturrock’s written two.
