just news about coaching guru/mad genius stormin norman goetz this is just to let people know why he is absent for a while he has just had a major spinal operation and will be in hospital for a while his wife can do some stuff for him as regards to gameplan while i have been given control of the ar jaguars for a while on both sides of the ball
hopefully a full and quick recovery will happen for this genuine good guy and character that brings lots of life and colour and laughs to these pages and i'm sure others he's in contact with

I thought this might be why he hasn't been around here for the last little while, I hope we get this wonderful character back in working order.
I did my back in a couple of months ago, could barely breath for a couple of days, let alone roll over or get up so I have an inkling of how frustrating this could be.

I'm sure as long as Norm can hold a pencil in his mouth and make squiggles on paper we'll be blessed with his unique brand of gameplan genius, but I hope its a full recovery on the books.
 

I have been aware of Norm's situation and look forward to "The Man" recovering fully and once again entertaining and informing us all here in his own unique style!

Best wishes Norm!

Get well soon Norm!  

I hope that you're on the mend asap, Norman!

Jeez...
Get well soon Norm.

Get well soon Norm!


I fully expect the outcome of today's C Divisional game between your Colts and my Texans to cheer you up, after you totally outplayed me in our regular season game!

here's to a full and speedy recovery.

All the best Norman. I hope you return bigger and better than ever.

Nearly missed this in the jungle of posts, you did say this was coming up soon. Been a tough ride for you lately and hope this final op gets you back on deck and swinging your raquet at long last. All the best for a speedy and full recovery mate, we need the mad professor of gameplan back on here!

Thanks Fish for keeping us posted, much appreciated.

Let's hope Norm is back to full fitness soon, I've been in contact with him now for 3 years or so through this forum and before that emails when we played in Euro Empires together, he never fails to make me chuckle and so he will be sorely missed until his return!
