Leeds United Legend Norman Hunter Dies after Contracting Coronavirus


Norman Hunter nicknamed Bites Yer Legs, was a key player in Leeds' most successful era.

He won two league titles during a 14-year first-team career at Elland Road, and was a non-playing member of England's 1966 World Cup-winning squad. 

Hunter Norman was admitted to hospital on 10 April after testing positive for coronavirus.

Hunter joined Leeds aged 15 and went on to play 726 matches in all competitions for the club - the fourth-highest individual total in their history.
Hunter won the First Division title in 1969 and 1974, helped them beat Arsenal in the 1968 League Cup final, and then returned to Wembley in 1972 as Leeds defeated the Gunners to win the FA Cup.

He also played in the 1975 European Cup final defeat by Bayern Munich in Paris. 

The England national team said they were saddened by Norman Hunter's death and that all of our thoughts are with his family, friends and supporters.

After leaving Leeds in 1976, Hunter also played for Bristol City and Barnsley, managing the Tykes and Rotherham after he retired from playing. He was 76 years old as of the time he died.
