Norn Iron Posted April 10, 2020 Report Share Posted April 10, 2020 5 hours ago, pongo88 said: It’s amazing how the amount of money in football has changed since Norman’s day. Today it would be impossible for City to sign a player of his ability from a top club. The same applies to other players of that era that City signed. I remember England International Joe Royle saying he had a pay rise when he joined City! In Norman's autobiography he explains what happened. IIRC he quoted he was on £112 per week at Leeds and thought he had hit the jackpot when Coty paid him £130 Pw. That equates to around £32,000 per annum today. £32k per annum not £32k per week like some Championship players 'earn' and who've never worn an England shirt.

RedRock Posted April 10, 2020 Report Share Posted April 10, 2020 The best all-rounder I’ve witnessed at The Gate. I’m sure he relished the ‘bite your legs’ tag, but he was a cultured player that oozed quality. Tackler, yes, never bottled one but he could head, pass and had a venomous shot on him. Also a great leader of men. Boy, could we have done with one like ‘our Norman’ over the last couple of seasons. Get well soon Norm. If the virus found Boris to be a battler, Norm’s on another level and then some! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miser Posted April 10, 2020 Report Share Posted April 10, 2020 Always thought of Hunter as a dirty Leeds clogger. Then we signed him. Tremendous player - maybe bit a few legs, but the skill prevailed. Fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went to the Baseball Ground to see his first match for us v Derby County. Was booed by County supporters as he had a previous fracas there with Leeds. RIP Norman Hunter.
