[1] Born in Melbourne, Geddes played cricket and Australian rules football in Victoria and Western Australia before moving to Dunedin in 1898.
A left-handed batsman and left-arm spin bowler, he was also a respected captain in club cricket and for Otago.
[2] Geddes' highest first-class score was 77 when he captained Otago to an innings victory over Hawke's Bay in 1901-02 and added 171 for the fourth wicket with James Baker.
[3] In Otago's narrow victory over Canterbury in January 1900, he was the highest scorer on either side with 41 not out in the second innings; he and Alec Downes took the score from 62 for 7 to 131 for 8, "completely altering the aspect of affairs".
[12] He died suddenly at his home in Dunedin in August 1935, survived by his wife and their two sons.
