Cricinfo's obituary calls him Geoff rather than Geoffrey. This is for information only, as I've set up a redirect from Geoff Griffin. Loganberry (Talk) 18:00, 18 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

I have a feeling that Geoff is much more common than Geoffrey. Tintin (talk) 18:01, 18 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

You might have noticed that I moved it. -- ALoan (Talk) 11:19, 4 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

An awful lot of this article - the business with Bradman for example. - lacks citation. Reading books by contemporary players - Walker Trueman. Griffen clearly had a dodgy action.Fieldgoalunit (talk) 21:30, 22 May 2008 (UTC)Reply
