Just been announced that Norman Hunter has died in his mid 70's due to CV19.
I had the immense pleasure of watching him playing for both Leeds United and subsequently Bristol City.
We all know that his nickname was Norman Hunter bites your legs.
And yes he was a real hard man and hard tackler in an age of hard men.
He was renown as an exceptional ball winner and played in a very physical Leeds team.
I watched him on many occasions and studied his tackling technique.
The reason he so often came away with the ball was that his head and shoulders were always over the ball during a tackle.
He was a very capable footballer as well with a very strong left foot.
Such a shame and he will be sadly missed, having been an English international and excellent football commentator.
