Lahir : 7 Mei 1965
Bergabung : September 1978
Sampai : 1989
Debut : 1982 (vs Brighton and Hove Albion)
Caps : 272
Gol : 67



Pemain Muda Menjanjikan

Bakat Norman Whiteside pertama kali ditemukan di Belfast, Irlandia oleh Bob Bishop, pencari bakat yang juga menemukan pemain legendaris George Best. Ia menandatangani kontrak dengan United bulan September 1978, dan ikut berperan dalam kemenangan tim yunior United atas Watford di final FA Youth Cup bersama Mark Hughes.
Memecahkan Rekor Pele

Ia melakukan debutnya untuk tim senior United tahun 1982 pada usia 16 tahun. Pada tahun yang sama ia juga dipanggil untuk mewakili tim nasional Irlandia Utara berlaga di Piala Dunia, mencetak sejarah dengan menjadi pemain termuda yang pernah bermain di Piala Dunia pada usia 17 tahun 14 hari, rekor yang sebelumnya dipegang oleh Pele.
Musim berikutnya ia kembali mencetak rekor menjadi pemain termuda yang berhasil mencetak gol pada final Piala FA dan Piala Liga. Dua tahun kemudian ia bersama United kembali berlaga di final Piala FA. Pada keadaan seri dan United harus bermain dengan 10 pemain akibat dikeluarkannya Kevin Moran, ia mencetak gol indah di extra time untuk kemenangan United. Gol itu diakui sebagai salah satu gol terbaik Piala FA sampai sekarang.
Pensiun Dini Akibat Cidera

Namun sayang sejak 1987 permainannya menjadi tidak konsisten karena masalah cidera lutut yang dialaminya sehingga akhirnya dijual oleh Sir Alex Ferguson ke Everton tahun 1989 senilai £600.000.
Cidera lutut serius yang dideritanya memaksa Norman untuk pensiun dini di usia 26 tahun. Ia sekarang bekerja sebagai pembawa acara pertandingan di Old Trafford.

Sudah sering denger namanya tapi artikel tentangnya memang jarang...
Selain sebagai komentator di MU saat ini, ia juga menjadi host dalam "Stadium Tour with United Legends" di Old Trafford. So, bagi yg berkesempatan mengunjungi OT, jangan sia-siakan kesempatan bertemu dengannya (tentu saja biaya tour ini lebih mahal dibanding stadium tour biasa serta harus konfirmasi sebelumnya).

Norman Whiteside broke Pele's record for the young ever World Cup finals appearance - he was just 17 years and 41 days when picked by Northern Ireland against Yugoslavia at Spain 82...

Did you expect to play for Northern Ireland in the World Cup at the age of 17, becoming the youngest player ever to appear in the finals?
I knew I was doing alright in practice matches. We prepared at the University of Sussex in Brighton and I don’t think I’ve ever been fitter. I was at my physical peak at 17 so I wasn’t surprised to be picked for the opener.

Billy always tells the story that a goal I scored at the university made his mind up about me starting. It was the spit of the goal I scored in the 1985 FA Cup Final, only this one eluded Pat Jennings’ snow-shovel hands by millimetres.

I was given the No.16 shirt, maybe to throw reporters off the scent. Billy always maintained that he knew I’d line up against Yugoslavia after a few days at Brighton, but he carried on the illusion that I was more possible than probable. He knew the firestorm would come and instructed television crews to steer clear of me and stop going on about "the new George Best".

[B]What are your memories of Gerry Armstrong’s goal against Spain?
Our couple of thousand fans were going deranged in the corner, but Gerry thought the goal had been disallowed because there was a silence in the rest of the stadium. Then he heard me yelling, “Gerry, Gerry, it’s a goal!” as I jumped on his back. The match up to then had been the most physically and mentally demanding of my career, but the remaining 43 minutes were more like the Alamo than a game of football.

How was the homecoming?
Because of holidays and a sense of surprise at our quarter-final achievement, no civic reception had been arranged and we didn’t do the open-top bus ride through Belfast until November. My memories of walking through three airport arrivals halls at Heathrow, Manchester and Belfast in the space of 24 hours are dominated by flash-bulbs and reporters thrusting microphones in my face. I walked into a media storm.

Can you describe Billy Bingham’s management?
The levels of professionalism he showed were remarkable. He had booked all the training facilities and had back-up plans if they didn’t work out. He had attention to detail, but his strength was his motivational skills. His methods worked for me; it was great to know that he believed in me.

jd inget quote dr ron atkinson
"Norman is never 17, he's 25 since the day he was born. When he has the ball, he knows the positions of all the players on the field"

442 - What Happened Next?
Footballers: after they were famous
Norman Whiteside

Injuries are normally the bane of a professional footballer’s life, but for Norman Whiteside, the former Manchester United, Everton and Northern Ireland striker, they led him to a new vocation. While most players sulk at home when they’re crocked, Whiteside put self-pity to one side and turned his interest to physiotherapy textbooks.

“I got really interested in the medical side of the game when I was injured as a player,” says Whiteside, now 42, from his Podiatry Clinic in Manchester. “Mainly because I got a lot of injuries and had about 17 operations! I spent so much time with Jim McGregor, the United physio, that he educated me. It got to the point that he was setting me homework! But I was so bored, it was good learning about how muscles work.”

Before injury ended his playing days at 26, the Belfast-born, 6’2” forward was the Wayne Rooney of his day. Whiteside was the youngest man since Duncan Edwards to pull on a United shirt when he made his Old Trafford debut in 1981; he later became the youngest player to appear (and score) in an FA Cup final and broke Pelé’s record as the youngest participant in a World Cup (17 years and 41 days at España 82.)

Once he knew he wouldn’t have a very long career due to all the knocks he began to think about alternative careers. “I’d thought about becoming a physio,” he explains, “then one day I went to a podiatric clinic in Salford and decided on going down that avenue. I’m now a qualified chiropodist and podiatrist.”

Podiatrists don’t just do feet, explains Whiteside. “We deal with problems from the hip down to the big toe. I do full assessments that analyse how people move, and we can build special insoles. I have a pressurised foot tread, which shows the foot in 3D, so we can find out what the problem is.”

“It was quite hard going back to the classroom and sitting with kids who’d just done their A-levels. I’m no academic, I just had to work really hard. It sounds impressive that I’ve got a load of letters after my name, but it’s been the toughest thing I’ve ever done! Give me a football and even if there’s a million people watching, I’m OK. Standing up and getting the question wrong in front of the class is much scarier.”

“After graduating Salford University, I wrote to the PFA and got work with them. I worked with 88 of the 92 league clubs for around eight years. I used to go round the clubs and screen the 16 year-old boys to check out any lower limb problems they may have before they become professionals.”

“It was nice to go up and down the country and walk into a club. I’d always know someone – the physio, coach or the manager. It went well but eventually the PFA pulled the plug on the service, which was a shame. Now I’m building up my practice in Manchester and I enjoy it because I get all walks of life come to see me, not just sport people.”
