William Henry Walker (29 October 1897 – 28 November 1964) was a prominent English footballer of the 1920s and 1930s.[2] He is considered by many to be one of the greatest footballers to ever play for Aston Villa and England. As a manager he won the FA Cup with each of Sheffield Wednesday and Nottingham Forest, some 24 years apart, a record which still stands.
