Geoff Palmer (born July 11, 1954 in Cannock, Staffordshire) is a former professional footballer, who spent almost his entire career with fc|Wolverhampton Wanderers. Palmer spent 16 years with Wolves, playing 495 times for the club in total. He joined as an apprentice in July 1970, turning professional on his 17th birthday the following year. After remaining in the reserves over the next two seasons, he made his senior debut on 13 October 1973 in a 2-1 defeat at Birmingham.

The right-back retained his place through the rest of the 1973/74 season at the expense of Gerry Taylor, which culuminated in winning the League Cup after a 2-1 victory over fc|Manchester City at Wembley. After two seasons where his appearances were hampered by injuries, he was an ever-present in the side that won the Second Division championship in 1976/77, and missed just 3 league games over the next two seasons.

He won a second League Cup winners' medal in 1980 after a 1-0 triumph over fc|Nottingham Forest, and stuck with the club after relegation in 1982, winning promotion back at the first attempt. However, after another relegation, Palmer finally left Molineux for fc|Burnley in November 1984.

His stay at fc|Burnley was short-lived though, as he stayed just 13 months before rejoining Wolves, under his old manager Bill McGarry, in December 1985 in a campaign that saw the club relegated to the fourth tier for the first time in their history.

After a solitary final appearance in the Fourth Division in September 1986, Palmer retired to join the police force, with whom he still remains.
