Billy Balmer (29 July 1875 – February 1961) was an English footballer who played as a right-back for Everton, as well as the England national side.[1] His brother Bob played alongside him for Everton and his nephew was Jack Balmer.
Career
[edit]Balmer was a tough-tackling full-back. He joined Everton in 1897 from South Shore and went on to play 331 games, scoring one goal. His brother Bob – four years his junior – also played for Everton. His nephew, Jack, attained fame with local rivals Liverpool.[2]
His only England appearance came in a 1–1 draw with Ireland in 1905.
Balmer spent the 1909–10 and 1910–11 seasons in the Southern League with Croydon Common, making 64 appearances and scoring four goals.[2] In 1912, 35-year-old Balmer joined Chester in the Lancashire Combination, but he left after just two games as he was deemed to be too slow and past his best.[3]
In 1921, Balmer was appointed as trainer at Huddersfield Town and progressed to become a coach with the club.[2]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
