coolie Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 RIP Norman smith From a era when rugby league was played in the mud. From an era when rugby league wasn't full of athletes. From an era when the game was pure & simple. Thank you for the memories Your contribution to Dewsbury was appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIP Norman - thanks for the most entertaining period during my time as a supporter.

graham fisher Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Sad to hear the news this morning,one of the best coaches Dewsbury rams have had, especially in modern era. What I liked about Norman he was always approachable, always had time for the fans. RIP Norman and thanks for your contribution to the Dewsbury rams.

As I've posted on here before we won nowt but who cared. The best years I can remember. Glory days of entertainment one can only dream about now and before BSJ reminds us those were the days of winter rugby. RIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blind side johnny Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Happy times, especially when he was in tandem with Jack Addy. Fans seemed to enjoy their rugby, as did the players and Norman always seemed to have a smile for everyone. He will be sadly missed. Sport, amongst other things, is a dream-world offering escape from harsh reality and the disturbing prospect of change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heckler Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Wasn't it Norman Smith who brought the one and only Eddie Rombo to Dewsbury? For that we are thankful. RIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Therein73 Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Hull KR fans have had their fair share of bad press over the years, but they were impeccable throughout the minutes' silence for Norman Smith............ Well done to them and thanks to Norman for some great memories. RIP, sir Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Kerr Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 A great time at the club back in the coaching days of Norman Smith. Shame I couldn't make it to the game to observe the minutes silence and pay my respects. He always had time for the fans and mixed with everyone after the games.
