Oh no, cracking player. Scored a tantalising try against the Ozzies in 86. RIP.

Sad news. 

One of the first names I thought of when we started discussing favourite players a couple of weeks ago. 

Condolences to all Colin's family and friends.

[Bert Street]

Never a backward step.

Played anywhere and was always a handful. 

Very sad.

 

[wozzeryedhead]

Sad day, condolences to his family, very good player and a committed player very sad about this.

Great memories of Colin. The try against the Ozzies will never be forgotten.

RIP and condolences to his family.

100% was never enough for him. Condolences to the Oldham rugby family from your friends in red white and blue.

20 game tour of GB and France….20 wins. The 6 point win over You lot was the closest they came to losing a game. Happy days.

Colin was a great player, not the best play maker or tackler but you knew he would never take a step back and a heart of a lion. I was lucky to play against him, his brother and Joe Nadiola. He was the most difficult person to tackle all arms and legs.

The biggest compliment the club gave him was putting him on the shares brochure.

RIP Colin, a great player and a wonderful sportsman 

The World lost goodun

Wrong thread.

What's the above about?

[Rochdale Roughyed]

Very sad news. One of those workhorse players every successful side needs. Played prop, wing, centre, second row...you name it, Colin would do it if asked. Thanks for the memories Colin.
