Wonderfully talented man. Yet the 'film critics' think his movies are shit.
He was a British institution a bit like the Carry On actors.

Is it Latvia or Lithuania or something where he was such a big hero? It wasn't that long ago he was rolling and clowning about on the pitch at one of their matches. He must have been about 90 then. Not bad going that.

Probably the only time we were a family and sat and watched something together, proper funny bloke.
Even my mum, bless her used to crack up and she couldn't speak English.
RiP (To both)

It's Albania, Lily.
I believe there is a statue of the great man in Tirana.

I recall an England v Albania game in about 2002 where he came on the pitch in a half and half jersey. You COULD say that he started this dreaded trend.

At the time that form of comedy was completely original and I suspect old `norm didn't care much for a script
Bloke banged a smile on an entire nation. Genius

Top man was Norman.
His films were hilarious. They always bring a good laugh for all ages. (The Square Peg when he played the double part as the Kraut officer springs to mind straightaway!).

Albanie. That's it gents. 2002 was it? That's a bit longer ago than I thought (sign of my old age), but he was still bloody old for the caper he was putting on.
I agree he was a quality clown and character.
This means he was born 30 years and two days before Bob Marley.

Even when getting his knighthood, he made the Queen smile by doing an "accidental" trip

Perhaps it was all new then, bit before my time really.
But lets be honest, there was a fucking war on. People were desperate for something to laugh at.
