Steve Bucknall

Name: Steve Bucknall
Height: 6'6
Position: Guard/Forward
College: North Carolina
Signed: 2005/06

England legend Steve Bucknall was signed by Karl Brown for the 05-06 season and it signalled Riders intent on being competitive in the BBL after a good few lean seasons. Buck played hard belying his veteran status and this was typified by his stunning defensive performance in the amazing comeback Trophy semi final win at Guildford which prompted KB to say "Steve thought he was back at North Carolina!"
Buck could also hit the three and was in the top 5 for free throw accuracy.

Steve's season included a bronze medal from the Commonwealth Games but sadly ended with an ejection in the play off defeat at Sheffield. Can Karl persuade him to give it one last go for the 06-07 season????
