    Ex bin man, ex Red, well remembered for scoring against Liverpool in the League Cup replay in 1982, retires today after a long career in football. Colin is a great bloke, who is always happy to talk football. Wishing him all the best in his retirement.

    He spoke in the fan zone a few weeks back; obviously a football man but even more obviously looking forward to retirement.

    Good luck Colin

    I can vouch for this, it’s not the first time I’ve heard something similar about him. Far too old fashioned for the “modern day footballer”.
