Jimmy O’Neill a very good keeper for the Blues -
1984 Inchy - Adrian Heath -
What ever made the Catt waste Ballys transfer money on Bernie the Bolt here he is in full frame the BIG guy -
Everton v Derby County 1971-72; More trouble as Jimmy Husband goes down with an injury to his right ankle -
Mick Lyons & Bernie the bolt rise to challenge the keeper -
I read Bobby Collins life story in the book Bobby Collins the wee - a great read - I did not realise EFC signed him as a youth player, but Celtic heard about the signing as they had him lined up and under SFA rules we had to return him in a gentleman's agreement as he was only an apprentice if he had been English we could have demanded he stayed - Everton that - I would have loved to have seen him play just missed out on him - the pocket dynamo sold far too early by the Catt - the tributes in the book from Labby, Roy Vernon were enough to make you gasp what a great world class first ever box to box midfielder he really was.... Leeds benefited from him
here's a photo of young Bobby as a cobbler -

Bobby signs for us for the 2nd time - like Bally he never wanted to leave us & he was the Captain -
Bobby Collins, a great Scottish international - the pocket gem, possibly the first box to box midfielder -
