Goalkeeper from late 1950's -early 60's

[robcmar]

Trying to find out some details of a goalkeeper who I think played in the late 1950's/early 1960's whose first name is Norman. No other information I'm afraid. Has anyone got info or know where i could find it ? Cheers.

The regular goalkeepers during the 50s early 60s were Johnny Anderson, Dave McLaren (From of foxes & fossils) & Gordon Banks the only Norman I'm aware of from the early 60s is Richie Norman a FB.

You might do better to ask this on Bentleys.

We had a LB called Richie Norman back then didnt we?

It's a bit difficult to think of second goalkeepers since we had Banks and Shilton in goal around that time.

Thanks for that. He was definitely a goalkeeper, eventually became a PE teacher. Perhaps he was second choice behind Peter Shilton. What is Bentleys ?

Shilton didn't start playing the 1st team until the mid 60s

I've looked in OF&Fs through each season of players used and I can't see anyone called Norman, but it was a fairly quick look.

Bentleys Roof is another LCFC forum where most of the members are older and some even much older than moi!

the goalkeeper i remember as reserve in that era was Colin Mackleworth

[Leicester_Numan]

The only Normans I know of from back then are Richie Norman & manager Norman Bullock

[Zingari]

does he owe you money ?

One useless fact I remember from my youth is that we once beat Mansfield Town 4-0 in the League Cup. The goalkeeper in that match never played for us again, so he had the distinction of never letting in a goal during his entire Filbert Street career. Unfortunately I can't remember his name so it could be a complete red herring. I've looked up League Cup results and that match was in 1960.

Also I remember Gordon Banks saying in his autobiography that when Matt Gillies signed him there were already several keepers at the club, so he assumed he would have to wait before getting a chance in the first team. So this Norman might never have played.

Sorry I can't be more help.

I remember watching all those goalkeepers from 1954-1964, but I don't remember seeing any others.
