Tony Collins, the first black manager in the English Football League, has died at the age of 94, the League Managers’ Association has announced.

After a playing career with Sheffield Wednesday, York, Watford, Norwich, Torquay, Crystal Palace and Rochdale, Collins was appointed Dale manager in 1960.

In a seven-year spell he led them to the League Cup final in 1962, losing over two legs to Norwich, for the only major final in the club’s history.
