I’d love to know definitively about the Sid thing. Every time I hear him speak he seems sound enough but the Sid stuff is there in the background. How sure are we about it?
Wasn't it pretty widely reported at the time? We went on a spa break when there wasn't any games, night off and there was slanging match involving him, Delph and Sid and a few of the coaching staff. This was in Houllier season.
Anyway Collins was a decent CB. Could get found out against sides with quick strikers with good movement but brilliant against the hoofball teams. Him and Dunney were rocks in 09/10 for vast majority of the season.
Different times of course judging whether the CBs we had at the time were good enough to get us in the top 4.
