Geoff Delderfield (L) and Geoff Williams (R)

When Lee Valley Lions first started way back in 1984, the first ever captain was Geoff Williams (known to some as Geof).  He joined the team from Richmond Flyers and left us in 1987 for Medway Bears.  After two seasons there, he spent the rest of his long hockey career with the Lions’ local derby rivals, Romford Raiders.  I have been informed today that Geoff has passed away from a heart attack at the age of 62, leaving wife Tracey, three children and three grandchildren.  Our thoughts go out to Geof’s friends and family at this sad time.
