TVY meets ... Norman Hunter

Leeds United Legend Norman Hunter is this weeks guests in TV Yorkshire Meets. Mark Wilson talks to the former white about his time at the club under Don Revie, the Brian Clough saga, the 1966 World Cup and his addition to the hall of fame.

This made me cry because he is my best friends grandad. I knew him well and it’s very very sad to think he’s gone now 😭

[@gregerlach]

I am not a Leeds supporter but I always admired Hunter. He was a better player than he was given credit for. He wasn't just a tackler he could distribute the ball too. He was unlucky not to have won more England caps but he was in the same queue as Bobby Moore, however, if Moore was ever injured the side wouldn't lose anything because Norman would step in alongside his club mate Jackie Charlton to form an effective defence. A friend of mine met Norman Hunter a couple of times and he said that he was a gentleman. God bless Norm.

Norman thank you so much for being part of that great, great Leeds United team.

[@bobbydazzler1780]

Wonderful player from a bygone era. We feared him in the 1973 FA cup final but won by a miracle. We’ve done nowt since but beating that glorious Leeds side as written off underdogs was the one match we’ll never forget. He was just awesome.

[@jamescrowther1234]

Great interview, the old Leeds players have a great way of talking about past and current affairs in football

[@mikeburrows1583]

Loved the interview. I thought Norman was a very humble down to earth guy but we all know that when he played, he had a heart of a lion.

[@derekfaeberwick]

No, he was a cheat, a bully and a coward when a forward was FACING HIM! kzbin.info/www/bejne/h3KvlYmropWre80

[@gerardoconnor7148]

Rest in peace the great Norman Hunter , I remember the great battles for those league titles as it were yesterday, from a Chelsea fan , we’ll never see the likes of these warriors and decent human beings again in my lifetime.

I am A humble Southend supporter, but always had an admiration for Norman Hunter and that Leeds team. We loved to hate them, but they were so good. And he was right about Johnny Giles, he was as good as they got. You can tell by this interview that he was genuine. RIP Norm.

I was a man Utd fan when Norman was playing and saw him many times .hard player who did what he was told to do by a great defensive club Great asset to Leeds with their type of football.This is a great interview from a member of the legendary Leeds team which he played a great part in

[@ShaunFrere1]

Norman was not only a hard man, he was a brilliant defender and that Leeds United team he played in were some team. They were also a big part of my childhood and I have great memories of following them around the country. True respect for Norman Hunter.

[@williambuchan4778]

Great 'view. I joined the army in Harrogate' 68 & was ignorant of footy until I watched tv footy & adopted Leeds as my team & being Scottish, well plenty of Jocks in United & the rest of' em. Scots footy wise propped up Divvy One! It wud have been pretty dull without us. Back then money was tight but wish I had gone & seen them. Nearly did once in '72 but match was off due to snow, so turned car back. It had to be really bad to be called off back then, teams would play in icy snowy pitches & created great unpredictable games. If you're my age group you will remember Keith Weller being the first player to wear ladies black wooly tights, it was that cold. Now its normal. Two things in my life were the Beatles & Leeds United. And both funnily enough had that tight unique bonding. And both had chart hits!!

[@charliewest1221]

We're kindred folk folk we are, then, Willie me lad. Cheers!

Norman Hunter, Terry Cooper and Joe Jordan all played for us at Bristol City, they were amazing! It also made us think just how good that Leeds team with these three and the other legends must have been.

He is remembered for the error 73 wc qualifier.. The media never mentioned Shilton he made a terrible mistake. Ray Clemence should have played. The media never mentions Beckhams mistakes.. Media know very little of football

[@richardsharpe2966]

Leeds had some proper hard men so did quite a few clubs

[@richardsharpe2966]

Now someone told me that they was a hell of a lot of skullduggery in that final in 75 was that true

[@paulgray7014]

Richard Sharpe absolutely cheated against Bayern Munich in the final should have a blatant penalty and disallowed goal for no reason leeds the moral champions of Europe in 1975

[@bigbernie7260]

Its strange how Norman Hunter lost his North East accent and Jackie Charlton never.

[@johnpeace5749]

They had to contend with a division where there were 10 teams over 10 years that were all capable, not the same these days !

Is'nt that right, you never knew who was going to win the title !

Try rattling off the names of the whole team of last year's Premiership winners. More likely to name eleven animals at the zoo.

Jackie Charlton played for England more than Norman Hunter and Hunter was a far better player and defender.

[@tw....]

So im on holiday sitting outside a bar in menorca waiting for the england game to start when an old guy asks if the table next to me is free.. Help yourself i say, thinking he looked familiar i asked my wife if he lived near us back home... Never seen him before she replies. So game started and england were hopeless, im telling the old guy how they should be playing. He asks me where im from.. Here we go i thought, i do know him... Newcastle i replied.. Thought so he said, im from there but moved away years ago to yorkshire he said... After the game finished he got up and said.. Nice meeting you, enjoy your holiday, and off he walked into the night. I remember thinking he looks fit for his age.. Must have been very fit as a young man.... Fast forward few years to covid and i was saddened to read norman hunter had died. The article said after football norman moved to menorca. It showed some recent pics of him... Then the penny dropped... Id only been sitting next to 66 hero and leeds legend for 90mins, telling him how the game should be played, and me never kicked a ball in my life.. And id no idea who he was, and he was to much of a gentleman to say. R. I. P Norman.
