Who is Geoff Wheel?
Geoff Wheel is a former Wales international rugby union player who attained 32 international caps. A lock-forward, he played club rugby for Swansea RFC.
Wheel made his international debut on 2 February 1974 versus Ireland and between 1974 and 1982 he formed a formidable second-row partnership for Wales with Allan Martin during the second 'golden-age' of the Wales international team.
A large uncompromising figure, Wheel had a noticeable twitch which only served to make him more intimidating. In 1977 Wheel, along with Willie Duggan of Ireland, became the first players to be sent off in a Five Nations international match.
Wheel is the organist for All Saint's Church, Kilvey in Swansea. In 2011 he agreed to become the president of a Welsh male voice choir, the Swansea-based Gwalia Singers
