Just heard, gutted.
RIP Leeds legend
Kind words Jimmy, RIP Norman
I'm absolutely devastated by this.
One of my all time heroes and a wonderful gentleman.
My thoughts are with his family. So sad.
Such sad news - A true LUFC great.
Thanks for the memories Norman - memories you just can't buy.
...Headline news on the BBC never mind BBC Sport.
Says it all really.
One of my all time heroes who threatened to bite my Dad’s legs, at Dalymount Park in Dublin, in the early 70’s. Lovely, funny, humble man, but a beast in the heart of our defence. Rest In Peace, Norman.
I'm not ashamed to say publicly that I cried when I heard this shocking news...Norman was a boyhood hero of mine and I had the great privaledge to watch him in his prime at ER......even more sad that he probably won't get the funeral he richly deserves. RIP Leeds and football legend
what can be said.
form all accounts a nice guy who has more life left in him so its an absolute crying shame.
If I remember rightly he was a good friend of another legend...the great Tommy Smith, another great player sadly passed away...
RIP bites yer legs 🌹
Imagine the likes of Smith, Harris and Hunter in today’s game haha
"Imagine the likes of Smith, Harris and Hunter in today’s game"
Shame there isn't any, it'd make some of today's wonder what's worth the most, their Bank or their Legs!..
Condolences to Normans Family, a true legend, a Leeds legend!.
A real shame, though not a Leeds fan, anyone who saw Hunter play couldn’t help but admire his commitment, not only to Leeds but to football in general. I will forever remember him ‘biting’ into tackles and leading by example, the likes of Hunter, Smith, Harris and Mackay would have the premiership pansies of today cringing with fear. I also remember Hunter and Franny Lee being ‘dismissed’, there was nothing sneaky or under hand, or even open to interpretation, just too honest footballers airing their grievances.

Well said, it was honest to goodness football back then, now the Premiership is a circus.
these players played the game they were born into and raised in.
if he couldn't defend and if he couldn't play he wouldn't have made it then. same as souness arguement earlier in week.
RIP Norman Hunter.
Chelsea fan in peace.♥️
They should cap wages these days then maybe players would play more for the clubs in their hearts and not the money!..
Players back in the good days played for their shirt and gave their all, not like the fall over cry baby muppets of today that are lucky if they're able to play 2 games a week!..
Am I glad I saw the likes of Norman and witnessed what the Man's game was when they had to sometimes play more than twice a week!..
RIP Norman
Enjoyed watching that Leeds team back in the day
Another sad loss to this virus
