Norman Hunter

Sad news indeed.

I genuinely cannot remember Norman being here though?

RIP

 

Sad news indeed, another '66er gone

RIP

 

Manager in the late 80s. I remember him. Part of the Stan Ternant crew I think?

 

Wasnt Norman part of Terry Yoraths backroom staff.

 

R.I.P was a decent bloke and a good after dinner speaker

 

I know hes a L*** legend but he was our manager back in the late 80s .
Would like to say RIP and condolences to his family at this sad time .

 

Had lunch with him once. A lovely man. What a terrible shame. RIP.

 

A 66 world cup winner, but like Greavsie couldn't get a game, RIP.

There is youtube footage of leeds v. chelsea 1970 and the charity shield 1974 leeds v liverpool, proper football!
Is there a game manager where you can put dirty leeds against the likes of suarez,messi,neymar and ronaldo- worth watching.

 

He was Terry Yorath's assistant , when Yorath returned in the late 80's

 

Norman was always a very reliable player for Leeds and England, the only blip I can recall whist in the England shirt was against Poland in the qualifying group games, the game Brian Clough called Jan Tomaszewski a clown, Norman went out wide to win what looked like an easy ball and instead of doing his usual (ball and man) he made a right hash of the tackle allowing Gadocha to take the ball forward playing Domarski in who hit a good shot all though Shilton should have saved it, but Norman always blamed himself for that England defeat and England not qualifying.
And yes Tomaszewski the clown played most of that game with a broken wrist when Clarke did him in trying to score, and made some quite unbelievable saves on the night.

R.I.P Norman Hunter.

 

He definitely wasnt a manager here, unless in a caretaker capacity?

As others on here with better memories than me have said, part of Terry Yorath's coaching team perhaps?. Anyhow somehow his association with us have been erased from my memory

 

Was secretary of CTC'73 back in the late 80's and arranged a Q&A with Norman in the old Diplomat on Sunbridge Road.Lovely man,very humble and easy to talk and listen to,RIP Norman.

 

Yeah coach or assistant as part of the Yorath, Dolan set up. Same time as Ternant, Bryan Edwards, that sort of era. I’m just going off a poster I remember having on my wall as a kid

 

It was after the Dolan/Ternent tenure.
This mob

 

Ah yes. There’s Bryan on the end. I knew there was some somnrction.

 

He was never our manager.

RIP.

 

Sunday mornings in the early 70's, when Leeds we're at their peak, I used to work in a newsagents in Horsforth and Mr Hunter sometimes came in to pay his papers.

I was always star struck and couldn't speak. Really annoyed myself.

He seemed pleasant enough and not at all violent.

Sorry he's gone.
