    Childhood hero, manager during our best times.
    Now tested positive and in hospital. Bloody hell.
    Good luck Norman.

    I’m surprised the bug had the bloody nerve to attack him!
    Always loved watching Norman play, even when he was at Leeds and was well chuffed when he joined us.
    Come on big man you can do this!

    I went on a cruise on the Canberra about 26 years ago. Norman, Ronnie Glavin, Gordon Banks and Alan Mullary were all coaches and we played some friendly games against local amateur teams.

    I was lucky to play left wing with Norman playing left back. Even in his late 40's/early 50's he had so much quality and time on the ball, running rings round lads half his age. Was quite special to play with him.

    I hope he makes it.

    Met him a few times as a kid, was always petrified of him but actually always treated us well.
    Good luck to him

    In my opinion, the manager of the best, most talented Barnsley team I've had the pleasure of watching, including our best ever player.
    Good luck, Norman.

    And a really good guy too.

    Oh I forgot Ronnie Glavin was also there too. Not sure how that one slipped my mind :)
