"footballer-turned-acquitted of all charges" is bad grammar and nonsensical usage to boot, so I've removed it. I understand what the editor was likely trying to do, namely remove perceived bias from the previous statement "footballer-turned-suspected murderer". I'm going to play grammar gestapo here and remove that reference as well, not for bias as he was suspected of murder at the time Norm was released from SNL, but because of the way it was worded. If the author wants to reintroduce this text, please rewrite it into more formal English. Isotope23 16:55, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
