The Latest from WA Legends

Geoff Wall (1941-2021)

On April 27, 2021, we lost a unique and longstanding contributor to our state’s strong soccer community. Geoff Wall was 80. Whether it was through playing, coaching or conducting camps, Geoff was known to many. He was a friend, a father, a husband and restauranteur, operating Piccadilly Circus in Snohomish for the past 30-plus years.

Back in 2016, we met Geoff for an on-camera conversation, and we share a portion of that below.
