Default 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
