THE family of former Barnsley FC player and coach Norman, ‘Mr Barnsley’, Rimmington have thanked fans for their loyalty and overwhelming support.
Just two days after Norman, known as Rimmo, died aged 93, Oakwell erupted into a minute’s applause on Saturday as players and supporters showed the strength of their feeling and affection for him.
Norman signed with Barnsley FC in 1945 and worked for the club in a series of roles until well after his official retirement. Born in Staincross he still worked as kit man at Oakwell past his 90th birthday.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
