Mike Balson was one of my favourite players. An uncompromising, determined and not unskilful centre back. His speciality in an attacking sense was the flick-on at corners, at which he was very effective and led to a number of goals. A very popular and admirable performer.
I was at the Wednesday match in 1968, and it was a great night. Wednesday were fourth in Division 1 ( the top flight ) at the time and were full strength. We beat them fair and square.
