Colin lost the best years of his career to World War II but after the war he was one of the top players in the league, top scoring for Sheffield United three seasons running as either a left winger or centre-forward. In 1950 he joined Nottingham Forest and helped them to the Division Three title in his first season, playing alongside Tommy Capel. Jack Fairbrother signed him and Capel in 1954 but the man renowned for his terrific speed and fierce shooting had lost his pace and was disappointing. In 1956 he moved to Bath City on a free transfer.
