Norm Henderson coached Cessnock in 1972 winning the compitition that year with a very young side in what was then a very strong newcastle competition. He coached two more years before
passing away in august 1975 from a brain tumor.
Norm was a fine player and great leader on the field, representing newcastle and country from Cessnock. Norm is well remembered and respected by the Cessnock community. Rest in Peace.

Norm's son Steve Henderson also captain coached a newcastle comp premiership side (Waratah-Mayfield in 2000)

Norm Henderson was a legend for the coalfields, putting Cessnock back on track for making Cessnock a major force in the Newcastle competition once again // He will never be forgotten.

I remember Normie well, we played for Codocks winning E Grade 1959 & D Grade 1960 Competitions, in 1961 playing for Balmain Tigers in the inaugural Jersey Flegg Cup, losing to Manly who went on to win the competition.
