George Hustler Tuck (28 April 1843 – 13 December 1920) was an English lawyer and a cricketer who played in 18 first-class cricket matches between 1863 and 1876, most of them for Cambridge University and the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC).[1] He was born and died at Norwich, Norfolk.
Tuck was educated at Eton College and at Trinity College, Cambridge.[2] He was in the Eton cricket team as a right-handed middle-order batsman in both the 1861 and 1862 Eton v Harrow matches.[1] In his first match for Cambridge University in 1863, he also kept wicket, but that does not appear to have been a regular job, and he was merely an opening batsman in the 1863 University Match against Oxford University, his only other first-class match that season.[3] In all, he appeared four times in the University Match, and was unsuccessful on each occasion, Cambridge losing all four games. His greatest success as a batsman came in consecutive games against MCC and Surrey in 1865 in which he played two separate innings of 51.[4][5] After leaving Cambridge University, Tuck played in only a few first-class matches for MCC teams and for Southgate Cricket Club in 1867, and a single further match for MCC in 1876.[1]
Tuck graduated from Cambridge University in 1866 with a Bachelor of Arts degree.[2] Before graduation, he was attached to Lincoln's Inn, and he was then called to the bar in 1868, practising as a barrister on the South Eastern Circuit.[2] He was later a justice of the peace in Norfolk and a deputy lieutenant of Norfolk, and he lived at Blofield Hall, near Norwich.[2]
