Norman Whiteside: This Sporting Life: Norman Whiteside

Series 1, episode 1

The ex-footballer reflects on his upbringing in Belfast's Shankill district and his career at the top of his sport during the 1980s. Raised in Belfast's Shankill district, Norman went on to become the youngest player to score for Manchester United's first team, the youngest FA Cup scorer in history and the youngest ever footballer to play in World Cup finals. However, within a decade, his career was cut cruelly short. Speaking to Stephen Watson, Norman reveals the true story behind his sporting life - what it was like to have and then lose it all - and how he managed to rebuild his life.
