That is a really nice gesture remembering Geoff in that way.

Well done.

Hello Steve,
For the last 24hours I have been fuming over the “Goal of Season” award by the members club. Thank goodness you clarified the situation.

I knew Geoff over many years watching the Terrors. We always had a lighted and amusing chats on his thoughts on football, especially Tooting.

However, in the early years at Imperial fields, I noticed on a couple of occasions someone with a clipboard, trying to hide by the snack bar, ticking off anyone who entered the main turnstile. At the time I really didn’t think anything of the situation.

At the next match at Imperial Fields, Geoff was not working the turnstile, as usual. Walking to take my place to watch the match, Geoff was leaning against the railings and he informed me he had been sacked as a turnstile operator. He was totally gutted, and to make it worse the club had voided his Isthmian League pass.

Geoff was a genuine guy, and I really don’t think he got over the turnstile debacle, but still continued to attend the games as a loyal supporter
