We'll all have to hope that his days of biting yer legs are long behind him. Otherwise his chances of getting nurses to give him intensive care are remote.

Excuse me for sounding like a bit of a pedant, but his nickname was Norman 'Bites Yer Legs' Hunter.

Similar to big Denis I would imagine, hard as nails. Denis said in his book that Leeds were the team he enjoyed playing against the most as they were full of hard lads. Surprisingly he said Johnny Giles was the nastiest little bastard of them all!
Get well soon Big Norm

How the hell did he will PFA player of the year? I think the answer to that question is... Who gives a fuck? The man is seriously ill in hospital, his footballing credentials when he was a player mean nothing.

Revie's Leeds are remembered primarily for being nasty and cynical. There was that side to them but in addition they had marvellous players and played some fabulous football.
When we talk of great managers Revie is sadly overlooked. Understandable to an extent but it's still something of an injustice.

The thing is his methods didn’t translate to the demands of international football. But he had to take the job.

There were a lot of very talented flamboyant players around in those days, Hudson, Worthington, Currie, to name a few. Revie preferred workhorses like a lot of England managers did throughout the 70s/80s. I think Clough would of been able to deal with a lot of those players unlike yes man Revie. Unfortunately we’ll never know one way or the other.

I wish Norman all the best. However, I will always remember him missing a tackle on that polish guy that skipped past him at Wembley which led to the Polish goal! That 0-1 defeat sealed our fate in qualifying if memory serves me.

Clough may have been able to deal with those players but there's just as much chance he'd have been unable to do so. The biggest job he ever had was Leeds and he completely fucked it up.

I had about 27 Lato swaps in my very first ever Panini sticker album a few years later, he was a great player and they came 3rd in 1982 in Spain. Was famous for the Quiroga incident as well. Someone gave the ball away for that 73 goal, may have been Tony Currie or possibly Colin Bell. Sure was 1-1

Again I recall that the shot came in from the Polish righthand side and agree Shelton should have saved it. So definitely 2 errors before the goal. Tomascheski or the clown as Clough described him put Stilton to shame that evening! Sorry did not realise it was 1-1. It felt like a defeat!
I had just passed my driving test in south London the day before and managed to borrow a Morris estate and five of us went up. First ever experience of West End driving and Hyde Park Corner before they had traffic lights!
Interesting times!

A lot of those players in question were given very few caps, there were some very average players who played under Revie who got picked time after time. Revie had his favourites like all managers. Regardless of your ability, if your face didn’t fit with him then you were axed, Hudson is s prime example after his blinder against West Germany. As for Clough at Leeds, those players wouldn’t play for Clough from day one and made it quite clear, so to say Clough fucked it up is well off the mark.
