I am old enough to remember Tony Collins with great affection. He was part of a terrific forward line in the days of 2 3 5 formation.
Tony was the first black player to play for Torquay and Dave Thomas wrote a lovely piece on Tony in "Inside the Gulls" recently.
I have a great photo of Tony in a team photo from 1957/58 sat next to Don Mills.
The forward line was Ronnie Shaw Sammy Collins Harold Dobbie Don Mills & Tony Collins.
