Career
Norman Betson was appointed captain-coach of Glenelg when he came over from Essendon in 1946. Betson was a resolute and canny ruckman. Unfortunately he was beset by injury and in July opted to stand down as coach in favour of Ray Curnow. In the next two seasons he was injury free, this time was highlighted by his selection in the 1947 South Australian carnival state side that played in Tasmania and in 1948 was South Australian Vice-Captain in the side that narrowly lost to the Victorians in Melbourne. Betson was Glenelg captain in his final league season.
