Career
His clubs included Chesterfield, Wolverhampton Wanderers and Leyton Orient. He has also managed several non-league clubs. Bellamy had a spell at Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club as a teenager, but decided to pursue a career in football instead, joining Chesterfield as a trainee.
He broke into the first team and played seven seasons at Saltergate.
He finally left in July 1987 to join then-fourth tier Wolverhampton Wanderers for a £17,500 fee set at tribunal. The defender also got to experience a Wembley final as the club lifted the Sherpa Van Trophy at the end of the season too.
He remained a first choice player in his first season at the second flight level in 1989/90 but subsequently was used only sparingly in the following two seasons. After 164 games for Wolves, he was sold to Third Division Leyton Orient for £30,000 in September 1992.
Here, he played as a first choice player for four seasons before leaving for non-league Chelmsford City in June 1996.
Just five months later, he took up a joint manager role for the club and spent five years in this capacity, winning promotion to the Isthmian League Premier Division in 2001. He had earlier guided them to promotion in 1998, but their ground was deemed not to meet the requirements of the higher division at that time. This promotion success alerted Conference side Dover Athletic to him and he took up the reigns there following this in June 2001.
However, he was sacked only months later as the club struggled.
He became manager of Braintree Town, where he had had a loan spell as a player, but was later fired in November 2003.
