Yes Padders, I remember Colin playing for the Blades in the '50s. Not many left now from that era. He apparently scored more goals for United than any other team in his career.

What I didn't know was that he was also a singer and shared a bill with the Beatles in 1963.

A man of many talents.

RIP Colin.

I think his cousin was Eddie Holliday, who the Owls got from Middlesborough and an England international.

He played in the same team as my Uncle at Macclesfield for a short spell.
