Norman Callender (9 June 1924 – 1990) was an English footballer who made 27 appearances in the Football League playing as a wing half for Darlington in the 1940s. [4]
Callender joined Darlington while stationed in the area during the war, and was still a serving soldier when he began playing for the club: [5] he had to drop out of the team in February 1947 after he was posted to the Middle East. [6] After leaving Darlington, he signed for Horden Colliery Welfare, for whom he played until at least the 1951–52 season. [7]
He later became a civil servant with the Ministry of Defence and moved into refereeing in 1955. While based in Richmond in North Yorkshire he became a Football League linesman in 1962 and was promoted to the Referees List in 1965 where he remained until 1968. [8] He is one of very few former professional players to have achieved this distinction.
Norman Callender is to play his first game of the season.
