Old Everton Pictures

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 -

You can actually read the autographs. There’s a shop near where I live that does the framing of autographed shirts. He has them in the window until the owner picks them up. It’s all City and Utd where I live. I defy anybody to recognise the felt tip pen squiggles. My son won a Blackburn Rovers signed football years ago in a raffle, it came with a card that told you which squiggle was which certain player.

….they tend to put their shirt into their signatures these days which helps.
