[Albion] Happy 80th birthday Sir Norman Gall

[Lenny Rider]

As Michael Buffer said about Sir Tom Jones at the Hatton Mayweather fight in 2007.

“There are greats, there are truly greats and there are legends”

My old mukka from the wireless is in that catergory when it comes to the Albion.


Happy birthday mate

One of my boyhood heroes, I had the opportunity of a 10 minute chat with him a couple of years ago when we had both dropped our cars at the Garage and were waiting for lifts. A lovely man to boot

Happy Birthday Sir Norm

Spot on

Not to be confused with a popular employee that moves for more money

A "cool, confident defender" I think the programme notes always used to say.
His last minute header to win the top of the table clash with Tranmere back in 1965 is one of the few goals from that era I can actually remember clearly.

Happy birthday Sir Norman!

But would Sir Norm if he’d had the chance?

 

[Worried Man Blues]

Happy Birthday Sir Norman, one of the two or three players I have ever met!

 

[Lincolnshire Seagull]

"That honest man" as Brian Clough described him.

Happy birthday Norman, and thanks for the memories!

That's bizarre as they, according to Sir Norm, didn't get on.

Different times Ted.

July 1995, Goldstone sold for well under £10 million, did any of us forsee 27 years later an Albion manager leaving for a £12million a year job with a club in the same league as us?

 

[The Antikythera Mechanism]

He was our Bobby Moore.

Maybe Sir Norm called Cloughie something and he couldn't disagree! I'm sure Cloughie would have liked someone who told him a couple of facts!! Respect....
