Zantuck made his name as a running winger, before reverting to a role in defence.[1] He began his career at North, playing just five games from 1974–1976. He then moved to South Melbourne for four seasons (1977–1980), playing 56 games. But it was at Melbourne that he made a name for himself, playing 88 games between 1981–1986, before retiring. He is well known for a famous outburst in 1984 (Round 14) with Melbourne coach Ron Barassi.[1]

He is the brother of SEN 1116 radio presenter Troy Zantuck and the father of AFL footballer Ty Zantuck.
