Biographical Text

Colin Beer played for Exeter City between 1955 and 1958 . He joined the club from Exbourne initially as an amateur and later played for Bideford.

Living in Sampford Courtenay and having played for Exbourne, he joined City as an amateur and scored freely in the ‘A’ team in the Exeter and District League side between 1955 and 1957. Agreeing semi-professional terms he made his Football League debut by scoring twice for Grecians in a 6-1 home win against Southend United in September 1956. 

Playing just four more league games, and without adding to his tally, he signed for Western League Bideford in July 1958 before moving on to Bridgwater Town in 1962/63. He subsequently returned to local football close to his home with Okehampton Argyle where he was secretary for many years.

Colin died in the Okehampton area in August 2016.
