RIP Norman Hunter

How sad. RIP you legend

"Always remeber Jimmy Greaves being asked once by Jimmy Hill " Was it hard to get the ball past Norman Hunter?" Greavsie replied " Nahh it was easy to get the ball past Norman, It was getting yourself past Norman that was the problem"

Simply a Leeds legend, the real old fashion no non-sense player, part of the greatest team we've had. He is so unlucky, he was not that old, feel very sad for his family.

Norman Hunter: Leeds legend’s brilliant talkSPORT interview on Don Revie’s superb team, that Franny Lee punch-up, and George Best being man-marked into the toilet

So, so sad. I was praying he would recover. I’m so weepy today! It feels almost like I’ve lost a member of the family.

Saw Norman play back in the day...Big Match and MOTD only, and Leeds were my first football love as a kid.

Always loved and respected the hard players of that era.

RIP.

I think the saddest thing, is that despite his family, despite his fans, despite the legend he is, he will have vern all alone, no one allowed to visit him.....utterly heartbreaking, feel so sorry for his family.

So sad and sorry for the Leeds family who obviously adored him.

RIP
