He played in a carefree, determined and sporting fashion and earned himself the accolade of the Harold Larcombe trophy in 1986/87. His final game was in 2013, bringing his career to a close at the age of 84.

Colin was a big fixture at The Pangbourne Club and Purley Social Clubs and is fondly remembered by those who knew him.
