Mark Norman is a Bobalanian former-footballer who last played for Middlestock AFC, with whom he spent the entirety of his career.
Club career
Norman began his professional career at the age of 27 by joining Middlestock AFC after their creation in 2007. His career was short, with his retirement in 2010 at the age of 30 coming at the collapse of Bobalania and its league.
International career
Norman was first called-up for the Bobalania national football team in 2008 for their début qualifying campaign, and became an important part of the side that reached the 2008 FMF World Cup. A 15-goal partnership with Sam Hyeland led the team to a third-placed finish in their first ever FMF World Cup appearance, with Norman's contributions the following year taking them to a second finals. In the World Cup, Norman scored twice in the group stage and once in the quarter-finals as Bobalania were eliminated on penalties in the last eight. Later in the year, Norman scored two more tournament goals as Bobalania placed fourth at the 2009 EMU Championships. Bobalania were unable to qualify for the 2010 FMF World Cup in their last competitive outing as they left the FMF later in 2010.
