- "A superb outside-left with the ability to coss on the run with accuracy, and also score his fair share of goals", Norman Lockhart found the net twice on his Ireland debut in 1946. He then found himself dropped in favour of Southern-born players, Tommy Eglington and Jack O’Driscoll (who also took Lockhart’s place in the Swansea team). Consequently, he had to wait three and a half years for a second cap!

- Although Coventry were relegated from Division Two themselves in 1952, Lockhart had done enough to impress First Division Aston Villa who splashed £15,500 on his signature in September 1952. A fast raiding winger, capable of strong crossing on the run, at Villa Park Lockhart linked up again with former Linfield colleague, Dave Walsh, a player who was regularly on the end of the outside-left’s centres. As his pace started to fade in the mid-1950s, Lockhart lost his place on the left for both club and country to Peter McParland, though he found a new role at Villa, filling in on the opposite flank.

- He always said this was his proudest skill - his two-footedness. He was frequently appalled by the inability of very highly paid professionals to use both feet.
