Club Career |
|
Club(s) |
Balmer began his
football career at Aintree Church, but Balmer made his name when he signed for Everton from South Shore, Blackpool, in 1897. He
was a tough tackling full-back who could play on either side of the pitch
with equal assurance. and on many occasions partnered his brother, Robert,
in the Everton defence. Balmer got his chance in the team
when he replaced Peter Meehan, a highly paid import from Scotland, started
his Everton career poorly. Balmer was drafted in and never looked back and
became a regular in the side from the next season. William Balmer left Everton in 1908
when he joined Croydon Common of the Southern League.
