Timeline

1976

Darren Carl Huckerby (born 23 April 1976) is an English football coach and former professional footballer.

As a player, he was a forward who notably played in the Premier League for Newcastle United, Coventry City, Leeds United, Manchester City and Norwich City.

He also featured for Lincoln City, Millwall and Nottingham Forest.

He finished his career by playing in the United States in Major League Soccer for San Jose Earthquakes.

He was capped once at England B level.

Following retirement,part owner of the cellar house pub Norwich he had a spell as academy coach for the Under 16s of former club Norwich City.

Huckerby was born in Nottingham, England.

His mother is of partial Georgian descent.

Huckerby started playing professionally for Lincoln City in Football League Division Three.

1995

Huckerby was promoted to the first team at Sincil Bank by Keith Alexander, but also played under the stewardship of both Sam Ellis and Steve Wicks before being sold in 1995.

He finished his spell with Lincoln having scored 5 goals in 28 league appearances.

Huckerby made a three division step up by signing for Premier League title contenders Newcastle United in a £400,000 deal in 1995.

Despite being highly rated by the fans and pundits, Huckerby found first team chances severely limited, especially since manager Kevin Keegan decided to scrap the reserve team, in response to a requirement from the FA that a certain percentage of home reserve fixtures be played at St James' Park.

Keegan believed that this would negatively affect the pitch condition, which was already in poor state.

This of course meant that, with no reserve team football, Huckerby was not match fit for the majority of his time on Tyneside.

Huckerby made only two appearances for the Magpies (one in the league and one in the FA Cup), before being loaned out to Millwall.

Huckerby then joined Coventry City for £1 million in time for the start of the next season, signed by then City boss Gordon Strachan.

The striker's pace and dribbling ability, combined with a very successful partnership with Dion Dublin saw Huckerby play a key role at Coventry.

Huckerby and Dublin's partnership did not go unnoticed and earned Huckerby a call up to the England B squad, whilst Dublin managed call ups to the full squad, under Glenn Hoddle.

1997

Huckerby played a major role in Coventry's Premier League survival, culminating with a final day 2–1 win at Tottenham Hotspur in 1997.

His success with the Sky Blues continued throughout the following season as Coventry enjoyed a ten-game unbeaten run and reached the quarter finals of the FA Cup, narrowly losing on penalties to Sheffield United.

Huckerby scored several goals, most notably the winner in a 3–2 victory over Manchester United at Highfield Road, a dazzling run past a few defenders before slotting past Kevin Pilkington.

He notched up 14 goals that season, his best Premier League return of goals.

He was sold to Leeds United the following summer for a reputed £6 million.

In his time at Elland Road, he scored two goals in 40 league games, once against former club Coventry City and another against Watford.

1999

He had to compete for a place in the team with some players such as Mark Viduka, Alan Smith and Michael Bridges and as a result he was never a regular, although he did score against Partizan Belgrade in the 1999–2000 UEFA Cup, and in a 6–0 win against Beşiktaş in the 2000–01 Champions League.

In all competitions, he scored six goals in total.

2000

Manchester City signed him in December 2000 for £3.38 million, as they attempted to avoid relegation.

Huckerby scored on his debut against Charlton Athletic, albeit in a 4-1 defeat.

Although the club did eventually go down, he stayed on and won a First Division championship medal, adding 26 goals in all competitions during the campaign, including two hat-tricks.

Huckerby started the new campaign as first choice, and scored the team's first goal of the season, a header against former employer Newcastle that secured a 1–0 win.

2003

However, the arrivals of Nicolas Anelka and Jon Macken meant less playing time, and he eventually ended up playing out the end of the season on-loan to Nottingham Forest, being part of the team that reached the Division One playoffs in 2003.

Huckerby spent a three-month loan spell with Norwich City, before signing permanently in December 2003, for a fee of £750,000, which rose to £1 million when the Canaries were promoted at the end of the season.

At Norwich, Huckerby's career settled, and he netted 14 league goals in the First Division in the 2003–04 season.

He was instrumental in Norwich's march to the First Division championship in 2003–04, and came second in the supporters vote for player of the season behind Craig Fleming.

2004

Reverting to a left wing role for much of Norwich's Premier League spell in 2004–05, Huckerby scored seven goals.

He was linked with a transfer to either Liverpool or Celtic the following summer, but spoke of his intention to see out his contract in East Anglia.

He was voted Norwich City player of the year by supporters in 2004–05 and 2006–07, and placed second behind Gary Doherty for the 2005–06 season, winning the award twice and adding two runner-up positions in his first four seasons.

He was voted into the Norwich City Hall of Fame in 2004.

2008

On 13 April 2008, he played his 200th game for Norwich, in the East Anglian Derby against Ipswich Town.
