Norman Ware (5 March 1911 – 26 August 2003[1]) was anAustralian rules footballer in theVictorian Football League (VFL).
A scrupulously fair, clever and unusually pacy ruckman forFootscray, Ware is the only captain-coach to have won theBrownlow Medal, and is likely to remain so indefinitely, as it would be almost impossible for a captain of an AFL team to act as a coach today, and even so, playing coaches are prohibited under salary cap regulations (instituted in 1987) in order to prevent wealthier clubs from circumventing the restrictions of the salary cap and salary floor.
He was recruited fromSale. His brotherWally played forHawthorn.[2]
In 2001 Ware was inducted into theAustralian Football Hall of Fame.
