"A true beacon of the Addicks faithful, home and away, Norman was affectionately known by fans as Headphones Norm' due to his distinctive look, which included a set of headphones either around his neck or in position listening to the latest results coming in, a vest with numerous Charlton and other football-related badges and patches on display and brilliant headwear such as his favourite Davy Crockett' hat, proudly emblazoned, of course, with his beloved club's logo."
