Geoff Miller
GEOFF MILLER spent twenty years on the professional cricket circuit, representing Derbyshire, Essex, Natal and England, travelling to all of the major Test playing countries and playing with or against all of the present day greats. To which he freely admits, “I wasn’t one of them”.
In his own words, “I was a comparatively boring bread and butter cricketer who was only selected in the team to allow all the brilliant flair players to perform with freedom”.
After Dinner Speaker
Apart from cricket, Geoff’s greatest attribute was the ability to keep his team mates amused with his hilarious dry northern humour, which he now brings to the after dinner speaking stage from his roots in Chesterfield. “I’ve always thought that both life and the game of cricket are taken far too seriously and it is necessary to see the funny side on occasions.”
By virtue of the sport he was in, and the life he has led, Geoff now possesses a whole host of hilarious anecdotes and stories about himself and his colleagues that he relates in both, all-male or mixed company. Naturally, cricket is not the only subject to be put under the microscope in his search for amusement.
Geoff is now in popular demand up and down the country, and overseas, he has found his new career just as stimulating facing Michael Holding and Dennis Lillee, or bowling at Viv Richards and Ian Botham (who he roomed with on tour for five years!) There must be a story or two somewhere from that – and indeed there is.
Geoff speaks at all kinds of sporting functions and dinners - company hospitality days, golf days, charity evenings and rotary events.
