It is apparent that in his youth, Norman played football for the West team and made some headlines when he took on boxing against an opponent from the South team. It did not go so well for Norman as the article “Gerrard defeats Tucker” outlines below. In 1930 Norman and Myrtle were living at 154 Wills street but by 1934 were living at 84 Harris Street in Broken Hill. Whilst the Australian Electroral Rolls for the 1930s describe Norman as a labourer, the article below titled “Men injured” specifically mentions that Norman was a lorry driver working for the Zinc Corporation.
