Understandably the majority of the book is devoted to his spells at Celtic, Everton, Leeds United and his time playing for Scotland but I was hoping to read more about his time at Morton. I wonder if any supporters who watched Bobby play for us in the 1969-70 and 1970-71 seasons could post a comment or email me (jonathan_mitchell_1982@hotmail.com) with any memories they have of Collins' time at Morton and I'll post them on here.
Between 1969 and 1971 Bobby Collins played for Morton 62 times scoring 3 goals (all competitions). He won 31 caps and scored 10 times for Scotland. 1 of the 10 goals was scored at the 1958 World Cup Finals - unfortunately in a 3-2 defeat at the hands of Paraguay.
