Ralph Hunt (footballer)

He departed Dean Court and signed with league rivals Norwich City in July 1955, who were then managed by Tom Parker.

He hit 21 goals in 1956–57 to become the top-scorer for a second successive season, though the Carrow Road club were forced to apply for re-election after finishing bottom of the division.

The "Canaries" then improved under the stewardship of Archie Macaulay to post an eighth-place finish in 1957–58, and so were placed in the Third Division the following season following the re-organization of the Football League.

[4] He hit 15 goals in 25 league and cup games for Bert Head's "Robins" in 1961–62, but departed the County Ground half-way through the campaign.

[1] He turned up on a motorbike ten minutes before the kick-off on 16 December, before he got onto the pitch to make his Vale Park debut against Shrewsbury Town – he then scored a hat-trick in what was a 4–1 victory for the "Valiants".

[5] Despite securing six goals in 14 games he lost his place in March and was sold on to Billy Lucas's Newport County for a £2,000 fee in July 1962.

[1] The accident occurred on the return journey to watch cup opponents Peterborough United with teammates Peter Stringfellow (who was driving), Ron Powell and Doug Wragg.
