Terrific player and genuinely all round nice bloke. Hull FC....The Sons of God... (Well, we are about to be crucified on Good Friday) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fearnowt Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Used to go to Knowsley Road with my Grandad in the 70s and Geoff Pimblett was one of my favourite players. He also played in the only Challenge Cup final I've ever attended, back in 1972. A great player, very sorry to hear the news.

nec Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 One of the first players I ever knew the name of, a star in Saints teams that weren't always overflowing with them. RIP Rugby League is a sport that desperately needs to expand its geographical supporter base and its player base. This imperative means that all other requirements are secondary until this is done. All power in the game should be with governing bodies, especially international governing bodies. Without these actions we will remain a minor sport internationally and nationally.

Adelaide Tiger Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 You know you are getting on a bit when a player you saw as a kid in the 70's passes away in their 70's. I remember as a kid watching Geoff Pimblett on the telly and at Cas and thinking he looks more like a local bank manager than the stereotypical RL player of the time. A great servant to the game.

Jinking Jimmy Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Sad news. He didn’t look like a rugby league player but was actually a very classy one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
