Geoff was 65, and is survived by his wife, Linda and daughter, Zoe. Our thoughts are with them.

Please forgive my late posting. I met Geoff for the one and only time in 1978, in a pub near Crosby I think.

I remember listening to every word he said in awe at his knowledge of the TT. Until this dreadful news I continnued to do so - even when we only got snatches of Geoff on Manx radio. No better man to fill a gap in the racing with stories and comment from a seemingly bottomless pit of knowledge.

My sincere condolences to his family and friends and again, my apologies for the late posting.
