Always been a fan of Norman, can anyone tell me the how he become a Brighton fan? I know he was born in London and then moved from pillar to post.

I worked in a builders merchants in Hove that supplied a lot of bits for his yacht including baths made to his own colour scheme!.At this time he was the highest paid entertainer in the world!

Definitely lived in West Chiltington, seem to recall that at some point he may have lived in Worthing.

That clip of him on the pitch at the Goldstone was brilliant, I haven't seen that before. The club should try and get hold of the full version, and use some of it on the screens at the Amex?

Thanks for the info, so I'm guessing he didn't grow up in Sussex, he started supporting Brighton in he's later life......

It was only the other week I found my old autograph book in the loft with his signature in it, along with several of the Brighton players (in the Grummitt era)

Any photos from that time?
