Geoffrey Winston Pryce (17 July 1961 – 5 December 2020) was an English rugby league footballer, most associated with York. Originally a winger, he occasionally played centre, and later in his career he moved into the second row. He was also known to play as an emergency hooker. [2]
Geoff Pryce was born on 17 July 1961 in Bradford, West Riding of Yorkshire, England. [3] He died on 5 December 2020 aged 59. [3] [4]
He made his debut for York on 28 December 1980 against Swinton and was a member of the side that gained promotion 1981 and 1986 and the side that reached the semi-final of the 1984 Rugby League Challenge Cup. [3] He made a total of 286 appearances for York between 1980 and 1983, scoring 101 tries and 374 points. [4] [5] He scored a hat trick on his Yorkshire debut on 26 May 1982 in a 22–21 win over Lancashire at Leigh. [4] He is an inductee into the York Hall Of Fame. [4]
He was a member of a well known Bradford rugby league playing family, including Leon Pryce, Dennis Pryce, Karl Pryce and Waine Pryce. [6]
He was described as "Best known for his tremendous strength, he was a strong runner, often taking several tacklers to stop him. He played on the wing, in the pack and everywhere in between throughout his time at York. His style of play – along with his approachable nature and huge smile – made him a fans’ favourite." [5]
[Waine] Pryce comes from strong rugby league stock with good Minster city links – cousins Leon and Karl Pryce are both top-tier stars, while their dad, Dennis, played for York. Dennis' cousins, Steve and Geoff, also both played for York.
