Aged 95, had a good innings
Sure he was on the pitch dressed as a ref at h/t at Manie Rd about 20 years ago

Glad you posted that image, I've been trying to find my copy. Norman's football hero was Joe Mercer (Norman was an Arsenal fan when Joe was Captain) but in the early 90s - and remember he'd have been well into his mid 70s - he came running up the Maine Rd tunnel with that kit on.

The comment about Peter Reid was spot on - people on the Kippax near me that day were saying 'why's Peter Reid got a cap on?'

Then Norman took a few penalties at the North Stand end. Of course, he fell over and did his usual routine, but it was by far the best pre-match/half-time entertainment we've ever had.

Rick Wakeman (his neighbour in the Isle Of Man) was with him and they were in Manchester primarily for a golf tournament. But Norman came to Maine Road a few times during the early 90s.

What a star and an entertainer throughout his life.
 
Albanian National Hero.. (the only films their Communist Government would allow to show) Comic Genius, brilliant singer, very accomplished serious actor, boxer and legendary entertainer.

RIP Norm
Don't cry for me, 'cause I'm a fool

....by the way.. what did you do with Peter Reid's cap?
 
Heared the news coming home from work last night, knocked me back a bit. Said that before he was in show business he walked from London to Cardiff looking for work phew. RIP Norman
