LOVE MY FOOTBALL..LOVE THE BALLET!

Took time out from the World Cup last night.I went as the guest of the Birmingham Royal Ballet to their ON THEIR TOES.I kept thinking about when I was a kid how footballer Albert Quixall used to take ballet lessons to help his balance and agility.He played for Sheffield Wednesday and won five England caps in 1954.Far more recently former Manchester United and Aston Villa striker Dion Dublin has become a big fan of the Birmingham Royal Ballet who are based at Birmingham Hippodrome.Dion and his wife Louise regularly attend goes to their performances and Dion is a good friend of their brilliant Director David Bintley who is an Aston Villa season ticket holder.Football clubs could do worse that use the services of these talented people.
