During the trial, the judge told Max: “It was incredibly foolish of you to continue after your first and second arrests. This makes your situation much worse.”
Norman, who has a total of 5 previous convictions involving 9 offenses, suffers from Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Tourette Syndrome (involuntary movements).
The British newspaper mentioned that Norman trained with Manchester Cityโs youth team and left it in 2015 to move to Wigan Athletic, followed by Tranmere Rovers and Morecambe in England. He also had an 8-month stint with Alanyaspor in Turkey in 2019.
