"David Wayne Norton" is a former professional Association football/footballer, who played as a Midfielder (football)/midfielder.

His career started at Aston Villa F.C./Aston Villa, where he began as an apprentice on leaving school in the summer of 1981, turning professional two years later and making his First Division debut in a 3–0 away win over Coventry City F.C./Coventry City on 19 January 1985, a few weeks before his 20th birthday. He made 20 league appearances in both the 1985-86 in English football/1985–86 and 1986-87 in English football/1986–87 seasons, but endured the disappointment of Villa's relegation in 1987 and made just two appearances the following season as they were promoted. He did not form part of Villa's return to the First Division, as he was transferred to Third Division Notts County F.C./Notts County.

He helped the Magpies reach the First Division in 1991 following back-to-back promotions (both via the playoffs) but once again he dropped down two divisions, this time signing for a Hull City side who had just fallen into the Third Division.

We're a team of routine, and when we don't do that we don't play well.

It's funny how teams match up. For these kids these are phenomenal times.

Shows up for practice, puts in 110%, kid that you love to have.

That is a very interesting position and I have learned to work with the leaders of our village and to be exposed to what is going on with issues and people involved.

Which is a thing of beauty. He's been a contributor for us.

It's sufficient to say it was unbearable.

Any race I put him in he gives me 110%. There's not a race that Jim gave away this year.
