    Bump.

    Who else remembers the Jelly Baby advert that featured Norman. It must have been late 70s / early 80s.

    I thought it was earlier than 1984 (going by the video title) mate.

    That's it and I thought it was earlier than '84 too. Also found it somewhere else.

    Wonderful that.

    Except for the photo of Macca from Match magazine, captioned “Mike” McCarthy.

    Would probably go down well on a Leeds fans site that mate. If anyone is able to post on their sites.

    Norman speaking after opening Bremner Square. What a pity he didn't live to see
    his wish granted re- Leeds back in the Premiership.

    It was good to see houses local to me in south Leeds with LUFC scarves out of their windows this weekend.
    Presumably for Norman.

    Nice touch by Leeds. They have announced that the South Stand at Elland Road will be now
    named " the Norman Hunter Stand". It's the least that the great man deserves.

    We should have done that for Norman Rimmington but I guess sponsorship money takes precedence in our case.

    Or the wishes of Norman himself - probably wouldn’t have liked the fuss

    Personally I think stands should be done when the person is still.alive to appreciate it, like the Kenny Dalglish stand at Liverpool or our own Redfearns bar!

    Always thought we should have named the away end after Derek Bell.

    Didnt Manchester City have a problem with people wanting a new stand naming after Colin Bell - I think it won the vote on who the stand should be named after but then someone twigged that most people might not use the official name Colin Bell Stand but call it something else and so ignored the vote in true boaty mcBoatface style

    Even though a Club might dedicate a stand to a dignitary or a former manager or player,
    the fans of that club usually continue to call it what it was in days when they first started supporting
    the team.

    Always remember a stand at Doncasters Belle Vue ground was called the Rossington Road End after
    the nearest village to the ground, which us kids shortened to "Rosso end."

    Similarly, I would imagine that the Beckett Stand at Oakwell will always be affectionately known as the
    " Ponte Road end" to a large number of Reds fans.

    Always been the Ponty End to me without the "Road". Our young un still calls it the Ora stand which it was when he first went and for a number of years after.

    Ponty for me - "Can you hear the C.K Beckett Roaring Ronnie Glavins always scoring " just doesnt sound right
