Geoff got me a Fred Flitstone and Barnie Rubble card for my 6th D/day!

Geoff was always a great kid. Always about football. Always played over in Belhus park.

Always captained our school team at Ockendon Courts.

Pike, Geoff While working for Dell many years ago, went to a house to replace a faulty screen on a laptop. On entering the house, thought, nice house, and just carried on. On the wall however, noticed a large framed poster showing the West Ham vs Arsenal FA Cup Final with a ticket underneath, said to the guy, that must have been a great game to watch, being a West Ham guy myself . . . he said, "watch it . . . I was bl**dy playing it". Looked at my paperwork again, and saw the name Mr Pike, thought, yep, should have known. Lovely guy, wish I could have stayed longer.

Pike, Geoff I met Geff whilst on holiday with my girlfriend, in Corfu in the mid 1970's. He was a quiet, unassuming regular guy with no airs. Glad to have met him.
