Alfred Samuel Walker (26 August 1884 – 14 September 1961) was an English footballer who played in the Football League for Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Walker played for Wolverton, Northampton Town and Brentford,[1] before joining Wolverhampton Wanderers for a £150 fee in April 1910.[2] He scored twice 35 games for the club,[3] as they posted eighth and ninth places finishes in the Football League Second Division in 1909–10 and 1910–11. He joined non-League Port Vale in 1911 and enjoyed regular football in Burslem, helping the club to lift the Birmingham Senior Cup in 1913.[4] However, he lost his place in October 1913 and after colliding with low railings at The Old Recreation Ground on 26 January 1914 was out of action for some time.[4] He was released at the end of the season and moved on to Scottish side Dunfermline Athletic.[4]
By 1949, Walker was working as the managing director of Sanitary Supply Co Ltd in Burslem.[5]
