So glad I'm old enough to remember players and games like that, RIP Norman, he was one of many hard hitting characters in football at that time, mind you he had his hands full with Franny Lee in that video who appeared to have extremely fast hand speed, what I would call a telephone box fighter!Quote:

3:06 oh dear, no biting there over by the touchline, not even a nibble

I can recall the night Notts beat Leeds 1-0 at Elland Road in the League Cup. At the final whistle, Norman Hunter stood near the players tunnel and shook the hand of every Notts player as they came off the pitch.
Not just a great player but a great bloke too. R I P.
Franny Lee's diving was awe inspiring . Overstated, and theatrical, but very high on artistic expression "Lee Won Pen"
Brian Clough called their keeper a clown, I would say the clowns was in whiteQuote:

Leeds were my second team, I even married a lass from there. Norman was my favourite player a quiet gentleman off the pitch, hard as nails on it. Saw them play a few times especially when they beat Man. Utd in the cup semi final replay at the City ground.
Mind you it was great when we went there and beat them 1-0 in the league cup.
