Pocket battleship. I recall reading some of the things Jack a charlton's said of him, and how he drove the character of Revvie's Leeds.

Are you sure ?

It would have been 1972 or 1973 probably & he would have been 42 or 43.

He may of played in the game where Peter Hunt scored a goal when the ball hit the adverts behind the goal and the ref gave us a goal it was against Oldham in the early 70's.

Think you're right Clive.
4-2, on 21st October, 1972, Oldham number 10 was Collins.

I think he played for Leeds in the 1960s. I think he was part of the side that got Leeds out of Division 2 in 1965. He had previously played for Celtic and Everton. Good, competitive midfield player and good passer of the ball.

I was there & remember the game well (ish).

So it would seem like he was 40 (plus) when he played us.

I remember the game well enough too, but I don't recall a veteran Bobby Collins playing, to be honest. However, Wikipedia says that he made 7 appearances for Oldham in 1972-73 before playing the following season for Shamrock Rovers.
