Norman "Norm" Smith (1 October 1946 – 21 February 2019) was an Australian rules footballer who played with Hawthorn in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
Smith, a ruck-rover, played his early senior football at Strathmerton in the Murray Football League and won the league's best and fairest medal in 1966.[1] [2] The following year he made five VFL appearances for Hawthorn, then spent time away from the game on national service, before returning to Strathmerton in 1970.[3] [4]
In 1971, Smith started playing in the Goulburn Valley Football League, where he won back-to-back Morrison Medals, with Tatura in 1974 and Lemnos in 1975.[4] [5]
His two-year stint coaching Corowa, in 1977 and 1978, was the final two seasons that the club played in the Ovens & Murray Football League, before merging with Rutherglen.[4]
In 1979 he coached Belconnen to its first Australian Capital Territory Football League grand final, which they lost to Ainslie.[6] [7] From 1980 to 1982, Smith played at West Canberra.[4] He was coach in the last of those years and again for the 1985 season, in a non-playing capacity.[8] [9] In 1986 he was non-playing coach of the Belconnen Magpies, formed by a merger between Belconnen and West Canberra.[9] Brent Smith, Norman's son, also played football in Canberra and in 1991 won the Mulrooney Medal.[10]
