WestHamCanadianinOxford Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 (edited) 23 hours ago, Obinna said: Never knew he was with Northampton Town in League Two. That's actually a good level for him to be with a club pushing for promotion. If they get to League One and he sticks, he would be doing well for himself. As others have said a good story to follow. League One/League Two is 4 down/4 up, with top 3 of the League Two promotions being automatic. So Northamption currently sit 3 points ahead of Carlisle United in 4th (the first playoff place). They are also 2 points ahead of Stevenage in 3rd but have played an extra game. Leyton Orient (the land of some my ancestors) have a decent 5 point lead in first with a game in hand. 9 games to go, Northampton would need to collapse pretty hard to not at least stay in the playoffs. Here's hoping Norman gets some minutes and helps them go up. Edit: I see they play a big game against Stevenage at home next weekend.

top cheese Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 Always been curious about this player's pathway. Hopefully he finds his niche in League Two. The move to CB might be benifical for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestHamCanadianinOxford Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 (edited) On a side make-you-feel-real-old note, Norman is sharing the bench today with D'Margio Wright-Phillips, the GRANDSON of Ian Wright (and therefore he is the nephew of Bradley Wright-Phillips).

I just looked him up to confirm if Sean Wright-Phillips is D'Margio's father (he is). Ian Wright is only 59, and D'Margio is 21. So Ian Wright was a grandfather at age 38 (could be younger if there is another grandchild that is older than D'Margio). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure that both Sean and Bradley were adopted, so that might skew things to make Wrighty seem abnormally young to be a grandfather.

I would have to find it again but I believe Shaun and Bradley are biologically half-brothers. Ian Wright adopted Shaun but I believe the latter was the son of his partner (someone Phillips) with whom he had Bradley. Anyway, he was 19 when he adopted Shaun who was 3 at the time. Edit: from an old Guardian article: He adopted the 19-month-old son of his girlfriend Sharon and the couple went on to have another son together. The relationship did not last, but they are still on good terms. Wright then had a son by another girlfriend I was wrong on the age, I guess. The most basic maths says Ian was 18 when Shaun was born.

WestHamCanadianinOxford Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 Norman goes 90' - second game running - in an important away draw. Keeps Carlisle United three points behind his Northampton Town in the race for 2nd or 3rd and automatic promotion.

WestHamCanadianinOxford Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 His club posted this interview behind a registration (at least) wall https://www.ntfc.co.uk/news/2023/april/ifollow-carlisle-united-reaction2/ Too many clubs have my details at this point, so I don't know what he said but a good sign for the club keeping him that they are posting it.

They are second, 5 points above the 4th team with 2 to go. The third place team has 3 matches in hand. They next play Bradford City, fighting to get a playoff spot, and Tranmere, upper mid table, last day. johnyb and costarg 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestHamCanadianinOxford Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 Northampton went with 2 at the back and he didn't see the pitch today. His team lost 1-2 late. They gave up second place but 3rd is still automatic promotion. They go into the last game of the season 2 points up on 4th place Stockport County but have a worse goal diffence so need a win on the last day to be safe in 3rd. They play midtable Tranmere on the Bank Holiday. narduch, dyslexic nam and johnyb 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
