Ooh Sweaty Balmer
Wyn Grant led me to an interview with the current Hamilton Academicals' player-assistant manager in today's Times.
Sweaty, who had one of the strongest Scottish accents I have ever heard, was real favourite of mine and I remember once bumping into him in a kebab house in Bexleyheath - pre match meals were clearly less sophisticated back then!
One anorak fact about Sweaty Balmer - he is the only player to have played for all three Athletics, Charlton, Wigan and Oldham! He also played for Scunthorpe, Boston and Clyde and began his career at the Celtic Boys Club. ¶ 15:07
