I heard today our former Vice Chairman and Director Richard Collins passed away this morning.
Been associated with the club since the 80's and was even at the Wigan game last week
Rest in peace sir
Believe he was also Chairman for a while
Correct. Twice. He briefly succeeded Mark Hulyer in 1983 (I think) and then John Fryer 1987-89.
Sorry to hear the news today. He played an important role in 1984, in particular, and was the only main to serve on all the boards from Gliksten onwards until the late 2000s.
Very sorry to hear that. I seem to recall that, following a director resignation in 1984 (probably Mark Hulyer's) following a game at the Valley against Swansea, Richard Collins was literally 'the last man standing'. He certainly served the club well over all those years.
Sorry to hear this news. I was sat just outside the directors box today and saw quite a few of the old directors I've had the pleasure of meeting before. including Derek Ufton, and wondered if Richard Collins made it as I didn't see him or his car. Sad news.

Condolences to his family and friends.
R.I.P.
Was involved in some of the darkest and some of the best days in the club's history.
RIP Richard.
