Stats
Bio
Recruited from Preston, Norm Campbell was a skillful wingman who wasted no time establishing himself at Victoria Park, playing in the 1939 Grand Final in his debut season. He developed into a consistent driver through the midfield, with his on-field quality recognised when he finished runner-up in the club's best and fairest count. Like many contemporaries, Campbell's prime years were significantly interrupted by World War II, causing him to miss three full seasons between 1943 and 1945 due to military service. He returned for a final campaign in 1946, capping off a tenure at Collingwood that also saw him play alongside his brother Colin in the black and white.
