Geoff Osborne was born at Dunedin in 1956.[2] He played age-group cricket for Otago from the 1975–76 season and made his senior debut for the representative side in November 1977, playing in a List A match against Central Districts. He went on to play the first of his two first=class matches later in the season, playing against the New Zealand under-23 side.
