No more ankle biting.....
Norman "Bites yer legs" Hunter has passed away. Never the most popular or exciting player with Leeds United and England, but I would hate to have been on the receiving end of one of his tackles
RIP

Last night I watched Get Shirty, a documentary about the Admiral sportswear firm, and Norman was shown in it. There was some great footage of many other players, managers and characters which I found informative and fascinating to watch. Most if not all of the footage and interviews I had never seen before.
Sad to turn on the tv today to see that Norman had been taken by the covid-19 virus at the age of 76. |

Saw him play in the early 70’s in that legendary ‘hard man’ Leeds team.
It’s true they don’t make players like that anymore. RIP.

Sad news indeed RIP. I emailed mt mate in Canada who is a lifelong Leeds supporter & he was shocked, He sent me this clip of a game he was at back in the day when players didn't roll around on the floor faking injury.

Some top quality boxing there Ian - Billy Bremner and Franny Lee were often at the forefront of a good punch up
