Keith “golden boots” Barnes had passed away. RIP and condolences to his family and friends. Probably the greatest Balmain player to put on the jersey.

RIP Keith Golden Boots Barnes

He never did get that GF retiring in 68 a year before Balmains famous 1969 victory. 

Along with Tommy & Holman for Magpies one of the greats of our joint venture clubs

Legend in the true meaning of the word. 

 

Not the nrl360 player who had a good 20 mins.

 

Champion player and admin for the tigers.

RIP.

A massive piece of Balmain Tigers history has also died with the passing of Keith Barnes. Condolences to those who knew and loved him. Very sad.

 

Let's hope that WT do a better job of honouring his memory than they did with Tommy Raudonikis. That day was an embarrassment (on-ground mic not working properly, speakers in the main stand inaudible) and emblematic of the lack of attention to detail that Pascoe and Lee presided over. Disgraceful.
