Talk:Norman Hunter (footballer)

MBE

Why is there no mention of his MBE awarded in 2009? See [1]. 2A00:23C6:C780:DA00:F1F1:83D6:C3BB:62A (talk) 11:16, 17 April 2020 (UTC)

I've added that next to his name, really needs to be expanded on in a personal section. Govvy (talk) 11:22, 17 April 2020 (UTC)

The article refers to the World Cup Winners medals, NOT the MBE, so I have removed this from article.. Daemonickangaroo2018 (talk) 12:04, 17 April 2020 (UTC)

@Daemonickangaroo2018: Silly me, I really should of read that source, the IPv6 got me there!! Govvy (talk) 13:05, 17 April 2020 (UTC)

Marriage and personal life

The BBC (Norman Hunter dies: Leeds United great 'a man of steel who could produce silk', 17 April 2020) mentions with picture that “Hunter married Susan Harper in 1968”. Is there anything else known of his personal life that would be appropriate for this page? JDAWiseman (talk) 12:12, 17 April 2020 (UTC)

• I've added a sentence. Like many footballers of that era, there's not a huge amount else about him, unless more comes out in the obits. Black Kite (talk) 13:25, 17 April 2020 (UTC)

• Norman Hunter (footballer) → Norman Hunter
• Norman Hunter → Norman Hunter (disambiguation)

– clear WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. Recieves overwhelming majority of page views (even barring the spike following his death) and has more long-term significance than either of the other Norman Hunters.

Note: Norman Hunter titles a page with content and so it must also be dispositioned. If this request is granted, then Norman Hunter will be moved to Norman Hunter (disambiguation), as shown in this modified request. P.I. Ellsworth  ed. ^put'r there 18:37, 21 March 2021 (UTC)

• Oppose - pageviews do not make a primary topic, see WP:PPT. GiantSnowman 12:35, 22 March 2021 (UTC)

@GiantSnowman: But they are a fair indication of a primary topic. And either way, he recieves far more coverage than either of the other Norman Hunter's in relable sources, so i feel it does qualify as a primary topic.

The Damned United

I think the article needs a paragraph or two about this topic and I would like to incorporate any comments which Norman Hunter himself made upon it. There is very little on the internet except what seems a good interview with journalist Mark Alford on 30 March 2009, just after the film was released. Unfortunately, as I saw when I updated the article, Mr Alford was working for the "Daily Mail" and this site rightly (for political reasons, certainly) deprecates that rag as an unreliable source. Though I am not sure if the red flag should apply to its sports coverage, I have removed the reference and tried to work around it.

If anyone has access to media which holds comments by Norman about the book or film, especially about the way he personally was completely misrepresented (to a ridiculous degree, in fact) in the film, I'd be very grateful if you can add it to the article or at least point me in the right direction. Thank you. PearlyGigs (talk) 13:48, 17 August 2023 (UTC)
