Geoffrey Thomas Valli (born 3 November 1954) is a former New Zealand rugby union player. A full-back, Valli represented Southland and North Auckland at a provincial level. He played a single game for the New Zealand national side, the All Blacks, against Fiji in 1980, for which the New Zealand Rugby Union did not award full international caps.[2]
Valli's brother, Keith, was killed in the Pike River Mine disaster in 2010.[1]
