Maurice Norman joined us in 1955 and played 411 times in the next 10 years, placing him 11th in our all-time list of appearance-makers.
The cornerstone of our back line in the double season of 1960-61, Maurice was Mr Dependable as we attacked from all angles on our way to championship and FA Cup glory. Get through Dave Mackay, and Maurice was waiting!
Maurice added the FA Cup in 1962 and European Cup Winners’ Cup in 1963 as Bill Nicholson’s team delivered the ‘glory, glory’ days. His performances earned England recognition as well, 23 caps between 1962-64 including selection for the 1962 World Cup Finals in Chile.
