That player in red with his hand up for offside, would, I'm guessing, be Yeats.
But it all came good in the end
Everton 1 Tottenham 4 August 1984
Didn't he leave in March 62? Don't think he played more than 20 games in the 61/62 season.Bobby Collins, one of postwar Everton's greatest players
Bobby Collins was a member of Everton's holy trinity with Alex Young and Roy Vernon. - a letter sent in to a newspaper -
As an Everton fan of very long standing I was sad to hear of the death of Bobby Collins. He was one of postwar Everton's greatest players, largely responsible for our winning the Division One title in 1962-63, along with the other two members of the "holy trinity", Alex Young and Roy Vernon; and virtually singlehandedly the reason for our having stayed in the division the previous year.
I attended all Everton's home games from 1953 to my leaving Liverpool in 1968 except for one, and that was the midweek fixture against West Brom immediately after Bobby's transfer to Leeds. I could have told Everton's board that Bobby was far from finished, as was subsequently proved by his equally distinguished career at Leeds.
