I didn't mind him at all. He got a bit of a free pass for coming into a Sheffield Derby at incredibly short notice, and played his part in a win (the 2-1 in 2006?).Bless him. I actually met his Father-in-law in Ayia Napa a few years ago & we got chatting in a bar. By all accounts Collins loved his time with us & has nothing but good things to say about the club & his time here. I think he mentioned that his form & fan opinion got to him the odd time.
He wasn't one I had a strong dislike for from that era. He wasn't a great player & sometimes his inability to accept accountability wound me up, but - like Doyle, they at least were passionate and not taking the piss out of the club.
I didn't dislike him but when you think of it all going downhill him and Doyle are the names that spring to mind. In fairness it should just be McCabe.Bless him.

hes a wednesday fan
Can't see him signing for Inter Miami this summer.Wouldn’t surprise me if he was off to Inter Miami for a big fat final paycheck
It was one of those times when you realise you’ve got someone far too good for you.I remember watching Gary Cahill when we had him on loan all those years ago. I just remember thinking it was like watching a man from the future. He was so damn good at everything and clearly a Premier League player even then.
Decent back up to Egan I think (possibly some competition) so not the end of the world if we get him and I'm sure a reasonable contract and being close to family/friends for a season or two would have its appeal.

yes he was just like gordon cowens when we signed him class acts cant see any way we could afford him but if a deal could be reached would be a great short term signing but still think we would need ben davies as wellIt was one of those times when you realise you’ve got someone far too good for you.
Needless to say, it didn’t last long.
But as he's now been released by Palace his wage will be now down to zilch. Depends who are keen and what they are prepared to offer him. At his age he can't be expecting to earn top dollar any more.Based on wageindicator.co.uk he’s on £65k per week so would he take a significant wage drop? I’m not sure
Why are we so obsessed with age in this country when it comes to football? Plenty of players still going strong that are 35 and above. Chellini was the best CB at the Euro's and he's 36! Sad thing is, if Chellini was English, he would been written off as an international years ago.He's 35. End of conversation.
Because we already have defenders who aren't blessed with pace, and adding another older person to that mix isn't going to improve things. We missed JOC's bombing runs forward last year. I'm not saying we need that, if we have a different playing style, but I wouldn't be comfortable with a person that age in our squad. We're not in Serie A, we're in the Championship.Why are we so obsessed with age in this country when it comes to football? Plenty of players still going strong that are 35 and above.

Flynn ?100%, that pair were synonymous with my worst times following us. But there were so many others I'd put before them; McMahon, K Freeman (at the time), McGahey, Hammond, Baxter, Flynn, Adams, McNulty... There's probably a load of others that passed through, put no effort in and have been forgotten about, but those lot took the piss with their attitudes a lot of the time.
Flynn ?
What a career he had, by the way. 2 league titles, 2 FA cups, a champions league winner and 61 England caps. Fair play to him.Now retired!
