Some of you on CL may know of Geoff Keys, a lifelong Addick and regular in the Rose of Denmark.

Geoff is currently on a global motor bike tour of the world on his trusty steed 'Doris' and is presently in Australia.

He made the headlines by going for a swim and losing himself in the outback for two days. Thankfully, he was found and rescued by the Oz SAR squad and is on the mend.

    I'm really pleased he was found. I wonder if they will bill him for the rescue operation ?

    Have to question his commitment to the club instead of scrawling HELP on the beach he should have written CHAvHUL??? i'd have thought

    If he had done, it wouldn't have shown on Sky News.

    As a German back packer gets lost in the outback,

    I thought I'd revive this thread about Addick and former season ticket holder Geoff Keys, who got lost almost 10 years ago.

    Geoff continues to bike around the world and has a blog documenting his travels, the first post being in 2014 .. "Adventure before dementia"

    Geoff gets game in every time he returns to UK , last time being May 24 I think.

    Thankfully she was found and rescued. A lucky girl as there is not much out in the area she was lost in. The time of year certainly helped. If it had been summer, then I fear we might have got a different result.
