1960

Bucknor played as a goalkeeper in Jamaican parish leagues in the 1960s.

In 1964 he played in goal for Jamaica in a schoolboy international versus Brazil, which Jamaica drew 1–1.

1988

Bucknor was a FIFA referee in a CONCACAF and World Cup qualifier between El Salvador and the Netherlands Antilles in 1988.

1989

Bucknor umpired in a record 128 Test matches between 1989 and 2009, and also umpired in 181 One Day Internationals during this period, including five consecutive Cricket World Cup finals from 1992 to 2007.

Before becoming a cricket umpire, he was a football player and referee and a high school mathematics teacher.

Bucknor's first international cricket fixture was a One Day International (ODI) between the West Indies and India at Antigua on 18 March 1989.

His first Test match was at Sabina Park, Kingston, Jamaica, between 28 April and 3 May 1989, with the competing teams again being the West Indies and India.

1992

After umpiring in a few international matches, he was selected to umpire at the 1992 Cricket World Cup, held in Australia and New Zealand, and went on to stand in the final despite being quite inexperienced.

1994

In 1994 the ICC introduced a policy whereby one of the umpires in each Test match would be independent of the competing nations, selected from an International Panel of Umpires.

1996

Bucknor also officiated in the next four World Cup finals in 1996, 1999, 2003 and 2007, with the 2007 World Cup taking place in his native West Indies.

2002

Bucknor was a member of this panel from its foundation until the ICC changed its policy on umpires again in 2002.

Since then both umpires in Test matches, and one of the umpires in ODIs have been independent of the competing countries.

The officials are now chosen from the Elite Panel of ICC Umpires, whom the ICC consider to be the world's best umpires.

Bucknor maintained a place on the Elite Panel from its foundation until his retirement.

2005

Dave Richardson, the general manager of cricket at the ICC, has said Bucknor's umpiring accuracy was at 96% during 2005–06, above the average of 94.8% for the Elite Panel.

2007

In October 2007, he was awarded the Order of Jamaica, Commander Class, for "outstanding services in the field of sports".

He was one of five officials, responsible for the wrong decision in the 2007 World Cup final, resulting in play continuing in poor light.

Consequently, all five officials were suspended from the Twenty20 World Championship in South Africa.

In 2007, he was short-listed for the Umpire of the Year award, which was ultimately won by Simon Taufel.

2008

He was removed by the ICC from officiating in the third Test between Australia and India in Perth after his several incorrect decisions contributed to India's defeat in the second Test in Sydney in January 2008

& he was replaced by Billy Bowden for the third Test match.

Former umpire Dickie Bird suggested that Bucknor had "gone on too long", while Bucknor blamed Indian cricket board BCCI's financial power for his ouster.

Looking back on his career, Steve Bucknor recalled making several incorrect decisions against Sachin Tendulkar from India.

2009

The ICC confirmed on 23 February 2009 that Bucknor had decided to retire from umpiring in March 2009.

He was the first umpire to have officiated in over 100 Test matches.

Bucknor has received the ICC's Bronze Bails Awards for umpiring in 100 ODIs, as well as the Golden Bails Award for umpiring 100 Test matches.
