In his three stints as Grimsby Town manager spanning over 10 years the club was never relegated and he also guided them to three promotions. Only 14 managers have reached 1,000 matches in charge of a Football League team by 1998 and Buckley is one of them. GOD

Before Covid I used to meet up with Geoff and two of his footballing pals for a quiet Monday afternoon drink. He hadn't been in good health for a few years, couldn't drink alcohol but would sit with a smile on his face and quietly recount stories of his very happy days at Town. An absolute Gentleman who will be sadly missed. R.I.P. Geoff
