Peter Bernard Luccin (born 9 April 1979 in Marseille) is a French footballer who plays for FC Lausanne-Sport in Switzerland.
His usual position is defensive midfielder, where he displays an overtly physical approach to the game, which results in many yellow and red cards. After arriving in Spain at age 22, he went on to amass more than 300 official matches for a handful of clubs.

[edit] Club career
After emerging through AS Cannes' youth system, Luccin appeared in France for FC Girondins de Bordeaux, Olympique de Marseille and Paris Saint-Germain FC (where he collected 13 yellow cards during the 2000–01 season).
His first adventure abroad came in summer 2001, when he arrived on loan to Real Club Celta de Vigo, which later became permanent.[1] In July 2004, Luccin transferred to fellow La Liga side Atlético de Madrid from relegated Celta (even though he netted a career-best five goals that season, also being sent off twice).[2] With the Colchoneros, he helped themqualify to the UEFA Cup in 2006–07 and, during his three-year spell, appeared in an average of 30 games per season, receiving 39 yellow cards and five red in the process.
Luccin was signed by Real Zaragoza at the last minute of the transfer window in August 2007, rejoining his former Celta coach Víctor Fernández.[3] During that season Zaragoza dropped down a level, he collected 14 yellow cards, receiving his marching orders in a 3–3 home draw with RCD Espanyol.
Again, on the last day of the summer transfer window, Racing de Santander completed the signing of Luccin from relegated Zaragoza. Luccin signed a one-year loan at El Sardinero, seen as a direct replacement for Aldo Duscher, who joined Sevilla FC at the same time.[4] Returning to Zaragoza after an irregular 2008–09, he missed the entire campaign due to injury. He left the team after the 2009–10 season.
In July 2010, Luccin had a trial with Scottish Premier League club Celtic,[5][6] but nothing came of it. In September 2011, after nearly two years away from competitive football, he signed for FC Lausanne-Sport in the Swiss Super League.
[edit] International career
Luccin played for France in the 1997 FIFA World Youth Championship, as the youngest member for the eventual quarter-finalists.[7]
