Career
He started his career at non-league club Beccles Town before moving up to play for Luton Town and Charlton Athletic, turning professional at the latter. In March 1927 he moved to Arsenal and made his Football League debut on 19 March 1927 against Everton. Tricker soon established himself at the club, with two goals in his fourth game for the club, in a North London derby match against Tottenham Hotspur on 7 May 1927.
Despite his early success Tricker was one of many forwards at the club and failed to establish a place in the time during the 1927-1928 and 1928-1929 seasons, making just eight appearances over the two.
In February 1929 he left Arsenal, having scored five goals in 12 appearances, for Clapton Orient. At Orient he served for five seasons and was the club"s top scorer for three consecutive seasons between 1930-1931 and 1932-1933.
In total he made 188 Football League appearances. After retiring from football, he became a schoolmaster, becoming Head of PE at Owen"s School, Islington.
