Norman H. Greenhalgh (10 August 1914 – 1995) was an English footballer who played as a left back in the Football League with New Brighton and Everton either side of World War II. [2]
Greenhalgh started his career with his local club, Bolton Wanderers, but failed to break through into the first team. [3] In 1935 he moved to New Brighton, where he suffered with appendicitis; after making a full recovery, he re-discovered his form and was sold to Everton. He made his Everton debut on 29 January 1938, [4] and soon formed an effective partnership with Billy Cook. [3] They helped Everton to the Football League title in 1939 before his career was interrupted by the war. [3]
Having already appeared for the Football League, he was selected to represent England in a wartime international against Scotland at Newcastle's St James' Park on 2 December 1939; [3] England won 2–1 with goals from Henry Clifton and Tommy Lawton. [5]
He remained at Goodison Park until 1949, making a total of 115 appearances [4] before moving to non-league Bangor City on a free transfer. [3]
