iconic british comedian, loved by millions of people who watched him on telly or on stage, and now we have lost Bobby Ball and Tom o Connor as well, sad times.
I loved him and I thought he was so underrated. Such a lovely man, so funny and those tributes said it all. First time I saw him he was doing his roll the car window routine. Wonderful stuff. He was a one off. Unique. Bless him.
He truly was a most wonderful man. We met him in a café in Blackpool and he sat on his own at a table and kept doing his dog jumping up routine. We were the only ones in the café. We met him some years later at a formal event and were invited to sit at his table. A memorable evening with a memorable man. Rest with the angels Norman.
Many years norman parked outside a famous Hull store called hammonds and entertained the crowd and me for ages he was a natural nice lad very down to earth.
A great comedian who I had the pleasure watching several times at the Winter Gardens, Blackpool. So sad to see several of his colleagues have since passed away. Great British icons.
I met him at Beverley mens swimming club when I was a kid. (His son was married to a member of the club). He was as funny & very friendly. Will always remember those Wednesday evenings.
I had the pleasure of meeting Norman in about 1994. I am an electrician and was checking the sound system at a club in Halifax. I was on the stage all alone in this club when he walked in, suitcase in hand. I couldnt resist and went to the mic and did his broken mic routine (nothing as good as his though) He immediately threw his jacket halfway down his back and did his chicken walk. A private show just for me hehehe RIP Norman.
