Bryn 413 Posted March 23, 2014 Am awaiting further details but sadly for all like myself who knew him, and Oxford Speedway, it appears that that Norman 'Nobby' Hall was rushed to hospital last night and passed away earlier today. I'm honoured to have been able to count him as a close friend, my thoughts are with his family at this difficult time and I really hope you agree with me that we must now re-double our efforts to save Oxford stadium in his honour. R.I.P. Nobby 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steve Turner 0 Posted March 23, 2014 Horrible feeling in my stomach when Chivsy told me about our old mate Nobby. But it was soon replaced with a warm feeling... memories of some great one-liners and put-downs, a wry smile, and the knowledge that he's now out of pain. Nobby, I salute you... You were an extraordinary, devoted, hard-working gentleman and it was my pleasure to have met you and known you. Rest in peace son, rest in peace Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

whowasthatberntpersson 108 Posted March 23, 2014 Such sad news but as others have said, no more suffering now. I first met Normie when he visited mutual friends (Margie and Keith Pilcher) in Townsville Australia about eight years ago. Normie then opened his home up to me and my Son when we first came to the UK, and there are so many great memories from the initial meeting right through to when we caught up again at Somerset last year. A true gentleman who will be greatly missed by all that new him. RIP Normie - I shall definitely be raising a glass of bundy rum to salute you in Cardiff this year. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You will not find anyone with a bad word about him.
