Les Norton

Les Norton is the fictional main character in numerous books written by Robert G. Barrett.He is stockily built with the signature feature of red hair, and doesn't mind a fight, a punt or a root.Les was born in Dirranbandi, and lived there until he was involved in a pub fight, and the local police officer told Les to leave before investigators from Brisbane could arrive, so Les moved to Sydney, and ended up living in Bondi, and working as a bouncer in an illegal casino in Kings Cross, New South Wales. In later books it turns from an illegal casino to a bridge club, as the club's owner Price Galese has further trouble bribing Police, and Government officials to ignore the casino's presence. Les played rugby league for Easts during his early days in Sydney.
