Norman Piper
Norman Piper is a former English footballer (soccer player) who played professionally in England for 13 years before finishing his career in the United States.
Piper was one of that generation who bridged the gap between terminological eras, beginning his career as a wing-half and ending it as a midfielder〔As football moved from 1-2-3-5 to 1-4-3-3/1-4-2-4〕 despite playing a similar role throughout.〔Only at the very end of his career was he tried as a full back: "The News", 14 November 1977, article by Mike Neasom ''Dickinson rings the changes for Vale''〕 Born in North Tawton, Devon on 8 January 1948〔"The PFA Premier League and Football League Players’ Records 1946-98" Hugman,B: Harpenden, Queen Anne Press, 1998 ISBN 1-85291-585-4〕 he joined Plymouth Argyle as an apprentice and signed professional terms in February 1965. Already an England Youth international, Piper made his debut〔"Rothmans Football Year Book,1970-71" Peskett,R/Williams,T: Harpenden, QAP,1970 ISBN 0-362-00071-9〕 for the Under 23 side〔All in all Piper played 4 times for the U-23s Hugman (Ibid)〕 in 1970 against Bulgaria, the year he left The Pilgrims- for whom he scored 35 goals in 221 appearances. That summer Piper had signed for Portsmouth, becoming their record signing at £50,000.〔"Portsmouth, from Tindall to Ball" Farmery, C: Southend-on-Sea, Desert Island Books, 1999 ISBN 1-874287-25-2〕 Piper served Pompey with great distinction during the clubs increasingly tenuous hold on Division Two status, but eventually lost form after relegation to the third. He was dropped in February 1978,〔(313 games/51 goals scored )〕 being replaced by his namesake〔(Namesake, but not relation )〕 Steve Piper. His contract, along with that of Bobby Stokes was terminated the following month〔Farmery (Ibid)〕 and a move to the Fort Lauderdale Strikers soon followed.〔(FLS statistics )〕 In 1979, Piper was the first player signed by the expansion Wichita Wings of Major Indoor Soccer League.〔''PIPER IS TOP YOUTH SOCCER COACH'' Wichita Eagle, The (KS) - Thursday 22 March 1990〕 He played for the Wings until 1982 when he was sent to the Pittsburgh Spirit. Following his retirement from playing, he became and assistant coach with the Wichita Wings. He was fired on 30 January 1988.〔''MISL WINGS FIRE BOTH COACHES'' St. Louis Post-Dispatch (MO) - Sunday 31 January 1988〕 In 1989, he was hired to coach the Wichita Blue in the Heartland Soccer League. In 1990, the Blue moved to the Lone Star Soccer Alliance. He was fired mid-season. He coached the men's soccer team at Bethel College (Kan)sas) from 1988 to 1990.〔http://tvsahawks.com/ClubInfo/CoachingStaff/NormanPiper.aspx〕 He now is a coach for a small travel soccer team in Southern California known as TVSA Hawks
