Charles Luck was a member of the formidable Northampton Polytechnic Institute gymnastic team in the period leading up to World War I. Despite them winning back-to-back British national team titles in 1912 and 1913, Luck never made the team on either occasion. He was, however, a member the Great Britain squad that won the bronze medal at the 1912 Stockholm Olympics
Luck started business as a builder at Rayleigh, Essex in 1924. He survived a winding-up order in 1933, but ten years later succumbed to bankruptcy. Sadly, he had assets to cover his liabilities, but they were in the shape of completed houses which, because of World War II, he was unable to sell.
