Yellow Fever member

Slick. Undeniably, too trendy to be a real football fan, Norman has had to work extra hard to demonstrate his belonging. Although initially very uncomfortable with the particularly horrid shade of yellow selected for the Retro Rickis, Norman has warmed to the t-shirts and the Fever Zone as some kind of social/fashion experiment. You will find his alter ego right at the midst of noise and chanting in the Fever Zone at any home game. He is the unmistakable chap with the square frame glasses meant for accompanying coffee and reading Hemmingway on the Left Bank.

In a gallant effort to prove himself worthy, Norman has done a huge amount of work for Yellow Fever. All those cracking Central League match reports Yellow Fever provides during the Winter - that's his handiwork. He is also our commercial negotiator and inhouse counsel. He spends a large part of his life fretting about who will sue Yellow Fever for defamation and scouring the messageboards for anything remotely offensive. He can usually be found moderating Frankie Mac.

Norman has a true passion for the game. He currently plies his trade as a player/coach at Waterside Karori.
