Former Wednesday and Preston North End stopper David Lucas has been taken on trial by Barnsley as he looks to return to Championship action following his release from Wednesday in the summer.

The 28-year-old failed to agree terms on a reduced contract to stay at Hillsborough following a knee injury in February which would have kept him out of action until Christmas.

Barnsley boss Andy Ritchie told the official Barnsley website: 'David has come in and will train with us this week. Hopefully, if things go well, we may try to get him into next week's reserve-team game.'

Lucas had remained in S6 after failing to agree terms on a new contract as he trained with the rest of the squad to help him return to full fitness and search for a new club.

He joined the Owls on a permanant basis in the summer of 2004, after two loan spells at th club, for a fee of £100,000 and made 52 appearances between the sticks for the club - including the League One Play-Off Final in his first full year at the club.

Re: David Lucas

Good Luck David if you remember him for one thing it was that he kept goal for us during the famous penalty shoot out against Birmingham.

Good Luck Mate

Re: David Lucas

At one time we thought we were doing well for goalkeepers with Lucas and the then record clean sheets of Tepi 🙂 .

My Sheffield Wednesday supporting mate certainly rates Lucas above their current goalkeepers (albeit now they have Crossley we have not revisited the question) and would welcome him back to Hillsborough.

I am not convinced he is good enough for the top of the championship, but he was still a decent keeper last time I saw him play.
 
Re: David Lucas

Thing is though theres always some players who, despite their overall limitations, you'll always look fondly on because of one incident or moment. Lucas was just such a player because of the saves against Brum, possibly more so than McKenna. King Kurt was another for the two goals against Arsenal and to a lesser degree, Bennett for the goals against Blackpool.
 
Re: David Lucas

ellis for the away hattrick...but then the f*****g t**T of a s**t bag went and signed for them..and i found out off a lasher fan at work.....not a good day
 
Re: David Lucas

As a shot stopper I rate(d) him highly, positioning and in the air not bad, but scared the $hit out of me every time he had to kick a ball.

But overall I think he is a pretty good keeper and easily deserves a place in this division, good luck DL and thanks for the memories and I remember you left with dignity and mutual respect.

do you remember all the tales on here (or rather the old mb) about Lucas and Gregan on the piss in Preston?


Lucas has gone from being used by England in training sessions when 20ish to virtually washed up now, Gregan is only 32 and sliding down the divisions.

There is a message there!
 
Re: David Lucas

Is the message summat to do with being a 'Clean-Living' kinda guy when you are a Pro-footballer?
