Re: [LU] Norman H
I was thinking mid-70s so had to look it up... After 540 Football League appearances and 726 in total for Leeds, Hunter signed for Bristol City on 28 October 1976 for £40,000, and remained there for three years, making 108 league appearances (122 in total) and scoring four goals.

Re: [LU] Norman H
Terribly, terribly sad. Norman was one of my alltime favourites. I actually never liked the "bites yer legs" moniker, even though it brought him a lot of fame, because I felt it overlooked the fact that he was so much more than an uncompromising defender. Some memories: a fantastic last minute goal from 25 yds to rescue a point at home to Sheff Wed in a christmas match2 or maybe even 3 really good long range efforts which just missed in the first half of "that" match in Paris..and of course him holding the pathetic little twerp Lee at arms length whilst the latter flailed his stumpy little arms like a cartoon character trying to hit him.
