Lucas Posted April 10, 2020 Posted April 10, 2020 Norman Hunter has it too. All the best Big Norm. I hate to say it, I really do, but I've maintained the thought someone 'big' is gonna snuff it from this. Not necessarily sport related either. Just a horrible feeling in my waters.

I think it's inevitable mate. Even if not in the midst of the highest number of daily cases, but I feel like it will be someone huge as well. Maybe not UK based either but a world figure perhaps.
Lucas Posted April 17, 2020 Author Posted April 17, 2020 Fuck off. Just fuck off. Tragic loss that. What a bloke. Epitomised everything that Leeds United are about to his dying day. There will never be another one like you. Ever. Legend. R.I.P Norman
Subscriber CaaC (John)+ Posted April 17, 2020 Subscriber Posted April 17, 2020 Fuck that virus, R.I.P. Norman, my thoughts go out to you and all the ones you left behind. Leeds United great Norman Hunter has died in hospital aged 76 after contracting coronavirus. The tough-tackling centre-back, nicknamed 'Bites Yer Legs', was a key player in Leeds' most successful era. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/52246007
SchalkeUK Posted April 17, 2020 Posted April 17, 2020 Memories of great Thursday evenings in the Bar in the Queens after training - went with Gary and met up with Norman, Billy, Johnny, 'sniffer' and the rest - sadly many - but not all have now left us. Not a nice time for this as very few will be able to be there when he is finally lain to rest. We will have to have a memorial session later!
Michael Posted April 17, 2020 Posted April 17, 2020 This very sad news, as John said, fuck this virus! R.I.P. Norman Hunter you will be sorely missed, but never forgotten. My thoughts go out to his friends and family. We have lost yet another member of England's legendary 1966 World Cup winning squad.
tlr Posted April 17, 2020 Posted April 17, 2020 A name synonymous with both Leeds United and 60s and 70s English football. A sad loss, certainly given the circumstances. Just been having a look through the scarves tribute doing the rounds on Twitter. One of the greatest tributes I have ever seen for a player that, proper job.
Dr. Gonzo Posted April 17, 2020 Posted April 17, 2020 Never saw him play, but he's one of those players if you've read or watched about the history of English football, his name pops up a few times in the 60s and 70s. So we've lost a legend, RIP.
Administrator Stan Posted April 17, 2020 Administrator Posted April 17, 2020 Admittedly didn't know too much about him apart from the hard nature of the guy. But spoke to my dad and he saw him play a few times whenever Leeds visited Filbert Street in the 70s and just remembered him from that era anyway. Seemed like the guy had ability too and wasn't just a crazy nutter like Vinnie Jones RIP to him. Leeds have lost a legend of their history by sounds of it.
SchalkeUK Posted April 23, 2020 Posted April 23, 2020 Just announced that as a tribute to the big fella the South Stand st Elland Road will become the NORMAN HUNTER STAND - great idea for a tribute!
