Geoffrey Collins

Geoffrey Albert Kirwan Collins (16 May 1909 – 7 August 1968) was an English cricketer active from 1928 to 1934 who played for Sussex County Cricket Club between 1928 and 1934.

Collins was born at Hove in Sussex and educated at Lancing College where he played in the school cricket team. In his final year at school he made four centuries, including a score of 212, and went on to make his first-class cricket debut for Sussex later in the same season. As a schoolboy, Collins was described as "making all the strokes" with his only major defect being "an occasional failure in patience".

He appeared in 50 first-class matches between 1928 and 1934 as a right-handed batsman, scoring 1,140 runs with a highest score of 90 runs. As well as playing for Sussex he made one first-class appearance for MCC in 1931, but after 1934 his business commitments restricted him to playing club cricket. He died suddenly in August 1969 at Hove aged 59.
