Born: 02/02/1980    Sainte-Foy-Les-Lyon, France

Balmont, a midfielder, played for 5 Ligue Un clubs, and has never won international recognition. He started out with Lyon, when they were in the middle of their dominant period (winning 7 league titles in a row), so picked up a winner’s medal in his first season - 2002-03. He never really established himself though, and, after a loan spell with Toulouse, joined Nice on a permanent basis in 2004. After 4 years there he moved on to Lille, which proved to be his longest-serving, and most successful, spell with any club. 2011 was a dream year for Balmont, and for Lille. Their first league title since 1954 was topped off with victory in the French Cup, to secure an historic double. In 2016 he signed for newly promoted Dijon and continued until 2020 when he retired at the age of 40.
