Wasn't he also going through a divorce last year which was why he was selling off loads of shirts? |  |

How would that have been possible?
Unless he transferred his savings over to them for some reason?! |  |

….David Norris refused to acknowledge any form of currency other than 50 pence coins. It was a nightmare when he was a footballer, as his wages had to be delivered personally by wheelbarrow every week.
He kept all his money in oil drums on his Dads allotment.
His Dad kept asking him to move them, but Norris refused.
It was just a matter of time really. | |

Maybe he kept all his savings in cash in a shoebox under the bed and they pinched it. |  | | |

I hate stuff like this and find it genuinely tragic that a sportsman would be so reduced by circumstances to having to sell their prizes and souvenirs so thank you so much for making me miserable I really appreciate it. Now I feel awful about calling Norris a poor man’s Westlake all those times. |  |

A ridiculous suggestion really, he was a very expensive man's Westlake.
Edit: To add, I agree it really is quite miserable to see and whilst I didn't rate Norris much he never went missing unlike many of his contempories. [Post edited 29 Jan 2024 11:18]

Just over £3k has been raised for him in 24 hours though, hope that cheers you up. | |

I don't think anyone could even compare the way Westlake and Norris played! His last season for us was probably his best and we let him go for free, as was the Ipswich way then.
Whatever the truth it is incredibly sad that a guy who spent a good number of years as a professional has come to the point where he's having to sell off everything he ever had to make ends meet. |  | | |

More likely to be a civil matter rather than a crime one, particularly if the money was put into the care and control of his parents |  |

I obviously don’t know the facts but, stepping back, people are donating to an ex footballer who not so long ago was earning 10k plus a week, and is still perfectly capable of working and earning money? Seems odd to me, and there seems so many better causes. Perhaps I’m missing something. | | | |

I don't understand how that's funny if that's the truth?
It sucks that he is in this predicament but he is able to work so not sure why people are donating. |  | | |

Seem to be forgetting he wanted to show solidarity with his drink driving mate who killed a child.
That’s why it’s funny | |

You do know it’s possible for someone to condemn the behaviour of someone but still hope that they pull through prison or any other bad experiences. |  | | |

Blimey. I know some people only trust cash, but that's taking a bit far. No wonder he was slow getting round the pitch - probably knackered after carting all those wheelbarrows about. |  |
