Robert Walker was a Scottish footballer who was one of the first black players of the sport.[2] He played in the late 1870s for Parkgrove (alongside fellow black player Andrew Watson) and between 1875 and 1877 for 3rd Lanark RV (with whom he was a runner-up in the 1876 Scottish Cup Final).[3][1] He took part in two trials for the Scotland national football team (1876 and 1877),[4][5] but this did not lead to a full cap.[6]
