The Mighty Quinn 11 Report post Posted January 29 Very sorry to hear of the passing of Jim Walker. Great memories of him from that Muirton Park era. A very good Saints player. R.I.P. 2 HOODLUM65 and Dave H reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cagey 1,848 Report post Posted January 30 I sure he was centre half but he scored a few goals so may not have been. RIP. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Old Lethamite 44 Report post Posted January 30 He was mainly inside right or right half. Played no 8 in the epic League Cup semi final against Rangers, October 1961, when we were 2-0 up at half time (Ian Gardiner with a header and John Bell with a great shot from the edge of the box). Lost 2-3 aet, with - no surprise - Davy Wilson earning a critical penalty. My first glimpse of Jim Baxter in the flesh. For some reason I remember Walker scoring a late winning goal in a league match at Muirton (autumn 1960?) against Partick Thistle, winning 2-1 after being 1 down. More impressed (I was very young) by the strong industrial language of the Thistle left back Sandy Brown, who went on to have a very respectable career at Everton. 4 ScottMann, Cagey, Cleveland-Saint and 1 other reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
