Bigsasasfloppyhair 13,310 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Mark Walters autobiography, out at the start of the month. Just ordered a copy. Anyone else bought it? Walters was my idol as a kid, I played wide left and just wanted to be like him. What a player, a genius on the ball and just terrified defences. Not to mention loving to destroy the tim bastards.

harlands plater 16,977 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 First memory of Mark is watching him destroy Scotland in a televised schoolboys international from Wembley. Think it ended something like 4-3, have a faint memory that Ally Dick had a great game for Scotland as well. trueblue 64 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched him playing for an England youth team at Villa park around 1982, best man on the park. Next time I saw him was against a.deen Jan 1991 and he scored the winner. Magic player.

LegendofCoop 17,301 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 That turn v's Hearts!! Was a pleasure to hear him on RTV at the weekend there. Never stopped referring to Rangers as 'We'. When asked what his abiding memory was of playing for Rangers....of all the great memories he could have picked, he simply said...'Scoring my first goal. Against Raith Rovers it was. Just being able to say I'd scored a goal for the famous Glasgow Rangers was special for me'! Loved that!!

TEFTONG 60,108 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 The 1st time I saw him do that double shimmy is a memory to cherish. Then the falling back swinging cross he put in for Hateley to put us 1 up v the sheepshaggers to win the League. Legend. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry Hurlock Loyal 12,133 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Absolute hero of mine, when I was a young lad - alongside Terry Butcher at the time. What a team we had, just wish we actually had the impact in Europe that we really should have had with the cream of English talent at our disposal.

Bigsasasfloppyhair 13,310 Posted October 11, 2018 Author Share Posted October 11, 2018 I loved Mark Walters. The ability he had was outstanding, drifting from from wide to influence play, a great provider of goals and scored some really important goals for us. Looking forward to reading the book.

Bobby Hume 13,085 Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 It was like having our very own top Brazilian player ... he had everything you could want in a player of that standing and he was ours. I hope his book is as great a success for him as he was with us ... it is on my list for all the great memories he has given me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
