Norman Hunter (footballer) - Life After Football

Life After Football

Hunter turned to the after-dinner circuit recounting his anecdotes, and since 1993 has worked for local station BBC Radio Leeds and Yorkshire Radio as a summariser at Leeds games. In 1998, the Football League, as part of its centenary season celebrations, included Hunter on its list of 100 League Legends. Hunter released his autobiography, Biting Talk, in 2004.

He has been married to his wife Susan since 11 June 1968. They have a son and daughter and two grandchildren.

In 2009, he was portrayed by actor Mark Cameron in the film The Damned United which was centred on Brian Clough's ill fated 44-day spell as Leeds United manager in 1974.
