Shot putter Geoff Capes with his two-year-old son Lewis in February 1974. Capes’ sporting prowess rubbed off on his son as Lewis was a member of his school’s athletic squad, competing in shot putt, as well as featuring in their rugby and water polo squads. After leaving school, he moved to the United States and represented Santa Monica College’s athletic squad and played defensive end for the football team. From 1995 to 1998, Capes played for the London Monarchs of the World League of American Football.
