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 single-handedly the reason for our having stayed in the division the previous year -

Don't know what the bloke's letter is on about, Joey. Colling had gone before we won the league & if memor serves me right, wee finished fourth the season beforee we won it, so certainly Bobby didn't save us from the drop then.

He did when he first arrived - we had never won away for a whole season - on debut he scored 2 in a 3-1 away win at Manchester City - he took the team up the table & out of trouble as we loomed near the relegation zone -
