Geoff Hosking

Geoffrey Robert d'Aubrey Hosking (11 March 1922 - 13 January 1991) was an English rugby union international.

Hosking was born in Exeter and educated at Cheltenham College.

A captain with the Royal Marines, Hosking played rugby for the Navy, as well as Plymouth club Devonport Services.

Hosking was capped five times by England as a lock in the 1949 and 1950 Five Nations campaigns. It was later discovered that he had been playing with a broken back through his England career, which required surgery.
