Rugby League through and through ! as a kid, always remember him for Huyton, Runcorn etc....

Never took a backward step. RIP

My old boss at work was one of his friends and played rugby with him. He had some great stories. I never met him but he was obviously quite the character. RIP

I remember being told of Geoff’s first training session
At Huyton.
He told the players to take up their usual positions and they all ran behind the goal posts waiting for the conversion to be taken.

His wake will have a few tails of the great man, always liked the one about his wig in the dressing room

I just watched “Another Bloody Sunday” again. Brilliant stuff, with Geoff shouting at the ref the classic line “he’s pullin’ his ur’ sur” when it kicks off at a scrum in a game.

This seemingly worthy gentleman was no longer on the scene at Leythe when Bongser first wended his way to former HQ. But after all the short but unanimously approving eulogies hereupon, he thinks that, tomorrow, he may very well watch the Youtube version of "Another Bloody Sunday" that he's located after VL's impliance that it was still available somewhere. Might fill a nice half hour after the England v France game.
