Stuart Balmer (born 20 September 1969 in Falkirk, Stirlingshire, Scotland) is a Scottish professional football defender who currently plays for St Mirren in the SPL. Balmer has the distinction of being the first outfield player in the English league to be allocated the squad number 1. When at Charlton in the early 1990s the squad numbers were allocated alphabetically, hence Balmer (and not a goalkeeper as is typical) wore the number 1 shirt for the season[citation needed]. He was previously the player/assistant-manager to Billy Reid at both Clyde[1] and Hamilton Academical[2].
