Condolences to his family and close friends.

I’m really sorry to hear this. I knew Colin more from him following Delabole Cricket Club, when he was watching his son, Glen, play against Grampound Road. Colin was a lovely man, who always had time for a chat about football or cricket. I know he did a lot for the old Duchy League. Condolences to Glen and the family.

Another one of the good guys has left us 

Always used to enjoy seeing him and spending afternoons together exchanging our views on the state of the game with Paul on Junior Cup days when they ventured down West ….great fun 🤩

Very sad news indeed. One of local football’s true stalwarts and a real character. Condolences to Colin’s family and my old sparring partner Glen at this sad time.
