A very funny man, a thoroughly decent human being, and as Rhodes says a true legend.

Apparently he is hugely popular in Albania of all places and went there regularly where he was treated like a King

As Albania is a republic I'm not sure if being "Treated like a king" is the correct terminology to use but I think we all know what you mean.

 

If anyone wants to see a clip of the great man at his best I suggest you log onto the Billericays "Why didn't we sign him thread" as its absolutely hilarious.

I gather that Sir Norman's former trusted housekeeper, Sylvia Evans, claims that his two children, Nicholas (57) and Jacqui (55), put him in a nursing home against his wishes. Evans started working for Norman in 2001 and moved into his spacious Isle of Man home, however she was unceremoniously sacked by the children in 2005 amid fears that she was having a 'subversive influence' on him. Incredibly she was also arrested on suspicion of stealing following a complaint from Nicholas and Jacqui but obviously no evidence was ever found to support any criminal charges against her.
