Any club that feels this is their chance and they just need a little bit of a push to get over the line will no doubt be in touch. (Imagine how the Carlton Mafia would react if he turned up there? Brian Cook link.) Hope Adam Kingsley reaches out actually.
Balmey knows the machinations of the industry as well as anyone, if not better, and I wish him every success, health and happiness in the years ahead.
Balmey has always been one of my football heroes and I still have vivid memories of after a win, waiting for the right moment, wiggling through and under a sea of legs to sneak past the doorman directly into the rooms straight off the concourse in the old Northern Stand.
You would leave the absolute stench of overflowing urinals out there and enter a room of football heaven where your gods were giants, with Neil amongst the biggest, and the air was full of liniment and victory.
Thanks for all the joy you have contributed to giving me throughout the past 50+ years.
