CharlieFarlie 0 Posted January 5, 2010 Former Norwich City Football Club chief scout Ronnie Brooks died from cancer in the early hours of yesterday morning. Mr Brooks, 78, of Hevingham, is credited with discovering the football talent of the Fashanu brothers A sad loss of a familiar face at Carrow Rd ,who also had a big influence in youth football through the region and was always a regular at many games I played in my youth. My heart felt condolences to his family. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
