Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Tony Lloyd (Labour), on Monday, 22 February 2021, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 13 members in total.


Tony Collins: the first Black football league manager

That this House is saddened by the recent death of Tony Collins, a footballer whose role as the first black manager of an English football league club has gone largely unrecognised; is aware that Tony played for a number of league clubs, finishing at Rochdale; notes that he went on to become player manager at Rochdale; recognises his achievement in taking Rochdale to their only final in the 1962 League Cup Final, where they became the first 4th division club to reach that milestone; and salutes this stalwart and pioneer of English football.
