Bio
Recruited from local club Kew, Norm Black joined Hawthorn in 1949 and quickly established himself as a reliable component of the club's defensive unit. Operating primarily as a back pocket, he played a disciplined, close-checking brand of football suited to the strict one-on-one contests of the era. Black donned the number 22 guernsey for five seasons, often finding himself part of a backline under siege as the Hawks struggled near the bottom of the ladder during the early 1950s. Despite the team's lack of on-field success, he remained a consistent selection for the senior side, retiring in 1953 as a quintessential defender who played 55 games without kicking a single goal.
