As a teenager I was in college with Geoff.

AKA "Gaffa" - AKA "The Ripper."

When we were in college, he was also on the books down the Vetch. Rugby's gain, was football's loss.

With Wales - Geoff won three Six Nations titles, including two Grand Slams, a hat-trick of Triple Crowns, and the record of 15 games unbeaten in a Welsh jersey.

RIP Geoff - one of life's gents. - A monster on the pitch - A Gentle Giant off it!! 😥

People who I know and sadly knew [passed] have never said a bad word about him, I never met him myself but he was lovely man by the views expressed by those I knew who did.

He played for Port Tennant Colts in the team a year ahead of me. He was a great centre half, could probably have made it professionally. I knew him from the Eastside and also from his job with Welsh Brewers. A lot has been written about him and he really was a genuinely lovely guy.
 
RIP Geoff.

Weird statistical spike for MND among sportsmen who played on grass and farmers.
