Norm Ware
Norman Ware (5 March 1911 – 26 August 2003) was an Australian rules footballer in the Victorian Football League (VFL).

He was recruited from Sale. His brother Wally played for Hawthorn. In 2001 Ware was inducted into the Australian Football Hall of Fame The Australian Football Hall of Fame was established in 1996, the Centenary year of the Australian Football League, to help recognise the contributions made to the sport of Australian rules football by players, umpires, media personalities, co ....
