Charlie Walker (14 May 1911 – 7 May 1990) was an English footballer who played mainly for West Ham United. Born in Nottingham, Walker started his career at Arsenal. He spent a period on loan to Arsenal's nursery club Margate, but never played a first-team game for Arsenal themselves, with opportunities limited by the presence of England captain Eddie Hapgood. Walker joined West Ham United in 1936, and went on to make 118 league and cup appearances for the east London club. Walker, a left back, played in all but one of the 1939-40 Football League War Cup games, leading to victory at Wembley in June 1940. He competed in a further 38 war-time matches before signing up with the Royal Air Force. After the war, Walker played in 21 games of the new Football League South, which included pre-war First and Second Division clubs. His last game for West Ham was a 3-3 away draw against Wolves that season. After this Walker rejoined Margate as player-manager for two seasons (winning the Kent League) and then moving to Ashford Town in a similar role for the following three seasons (winning the Kent League in his first season).〔 ==References== * 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Charlie Walker (footballer, born 1911)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
