His clubs included Leicester City (for whom he played in the second leg of the 1965 Football League Cup Final), Northampton Town and Mansfield Town.[1] On two occasions Walker managed Northampton Town[2] and was manager (having been upgraded from assistant) of Maidstone United[3] in their final season as a Football League club in 1992 before their financial liquidation.
