Organised by Leeds Hospitals CharityThe Norman Hunter Golf Day returns for the fifth year in a row, on Friday 11 July 2025 at Horsforth Golf Club, Leeds, the family of much loved Leeds United and England footballer Norman Hunter will be hosting the tournament in his memory.
After the last Golf Day in 2024, the running total raised was a staggering £140,166. This money has funded an automatic cell sorter, and a research fellow for three years, the research is so close to finding a cure for CLL. So we're not stopping there.
For more information please email normanhuntergolf@gmail.com
Norman began his football career with Leeds United in 1959 and was part of the FIFA 1966 World Cup winning squad where he rose to international fame. He was given the nickname "Bites Yer Legs" Hunter, known as a tough tackling centre half and defensive midfielder on the pitch.
In 2013, Norman was diagnosed with Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) and was receiving treatment at Leeds Cancer Centre. He sadly died aged 76 in April 2020 after contracting COVID-19.
Professor Peter Hillmen, Consultant in Clinical Haematology at Leeds Teaching Hospitals, whose team looked after Norman for seven years said:
Norman was a humble and delightful gentleman; it was an honour to care for him and I'm so grateful to his family for putting on this golf day to support research into CLL here in Leeds. The money raised through this fantastic event in Normans memory will make a huge difference to the research, treatment and care we can offer to patients at Leeds Cancer Centre.
