Player Profile

Norman's father, Scottish international defender Wilf Low, was a certified legend at Newcastle United. Norman was never on the Magpies' books but had appeared for his local side, Rosehill Villa, before becoming a professional at Liverpool in 1933. Tom Bradshaw was the club’s recognized centre-half at that time but Low replaced him for 11 consecutive first division matches in the first half of the 1934/35 season, Bradshaw playing in the other 31. In the following season Bradshaw only missed one league match, Low again deputising for him and the last of his 13 Football League appearances for Liverpool came on 26 September 1936 in a 2-0 defeat away at Leeds. Norman was manager of third division Norwich from 1950 to 1955 and Port Vale from 1957 to 1962 where he won the fourth division championship in the 1958/59 season. Low was also chief scout at Liverpool for a while before emigrating to North America in 1968.
