Geoff Noble

Geoffrey "Geoff" Noble was Donna Noble's father, Sylvia Noble's husband and the son-in-law of Wilfred Mott.

After coming home from a football match one day, he uttered, "Veni, vidi, vici".

Geoff was walking his daughter down the aisle during her wedding to Lance Bennett when she unexpectedly disappeared in a burst of golden light. As baffled as anyone else, Geoff took charge of seeing to the injured in the wake of the Robot Santas' attack on the wedding reception. He was overjoyed when Donna returned safely home after her adventure with the Tenth Doctor.

Before his death, Geoff encountered the Tenth Doctor and gave him a pound note. The Doctor used it to buy a lottery ticket which he gave to Donna as a wedding present. The ticket had the winning numbers in a triple roll-over draw that occurred soon after her wedding, securing her and her new husband's financial future.
