Played 14 games for Wests in 1977 (prior to that he played 27 games for Newtown in 75-76 & 3 games off the bench for Easts in 74)!
That is all the info I can find on him mate!

Warmly known as “Kojak” because of his bald head, the Kojak character being a TV detective of the day played by actor Telly Savallas.
Lucas was maybe a bit limited in terms of forward skills by today’s standards, but WOW! he gave 110%, was fearless in taking the ball up, was always a workhorse and fitted the never-say-die courage and attitude of the hard-nosed Wests Magpies of the day.
A great memory of him and reflects the good times that seem so long ago…… (from a magpies perspective).
-
I had some idea from my footy card collecting days that he played for the Sharks as well!..…
Sorry, that was Fred Pagano!..
-
Remember him playing with his ‘Kojak’ look he played his footy hard and tough who relished in an ‘enforcer’ role.
-
yeh, it was the look.
-
Yeah he had the fair hair and bald too, very pale as well……when I was a kid it was rumoured he has deaf and or dumb…funny - same thing for Don Rogers too.
Dougy from memory was an honest toiler, workhorse but limited in skills -
I think I have his footy card somewhere at home
-
Tommy if you find it can you post it here?
-

Bash it up type of player ,not much else though.Cogger
