"Sadly has passed away from coronavirus.
"
Damned shame. A hard man from a whole different era. Norman, and the likes of chopper Harris, wouldn't finish a single game these days. When did football transition into a fully non-contact sport? |

"They better be wearing shin pads in heaven!! once met him on a flight, so much time for everyone, spent hours talking about the rest of the team and not himself. Absolute legend of a man RIP."
I find with a lot of the old footballers they are all happy to have a chat and share their stories when you meet them.
We lost The Cat this week too. |

He was a legend too, had it not been for the great G Banks he’d have been in the England team a lot more. |

After Norman put him down first! Then Franny sought revenge in the second tussle and steamed in fists flying he was pissed at Norman who fought defensively on the retreat. It was obvious they could both fight.
Franny more like a street fighter and Norman the boxer. That's how I read the clip I saw some years back. |

Lee was a talent for sure.
I think most people would've preferred Hunter on their side than against them all the same.
Footballers were a different breed then than now. |
