Geoffrey Green (12 May 1911 – 9 May 1990) was a distinguished English football writer. Geoffrey Green was educated at Shrewsbury School, where he played football to a high standard.
He started writing for The Times in the 1930s when football was not afforded much respectability among the paper's traditional readership.
He is considered to be the godfather of football reporting and the world's first anointed Football Correspondent, although he remained anonymous in the paper until 23 January 1967.
He also broadcast on football for BBC Radio.
