Versatile former City and Park Avenue player Norman Corner could play up front or at centre half
Former City and Park Avenue player Norman Corner has died, three days after his 68th birthday.
Horden-born Corner played up front and at centre half for City, with his 6ft 2in frame proving a useful asset in both roles.
Corner helped City into Division Three in his first season at Valley Parade before leaving to join Avenue, by then a non-league club, in March 1972.
Four years earlier, he had scored a hat-trick at Avenue while playing for Lincoln.
Corner leaves wife Jean and a son and daughter.
