multitude of friends and the handful who did not like him as much died in a Nottingham hospital today after eight months of illness He was 68 So ended the career of the complete footballer A Black Country lad and son of a League player he defied his father to take to professional football and as he made himself a household name for Aston Villa his father became his biggest fan He played 480 games mainly at inside left but in other positions in the attack too for Villa and was an expert goal maker and taker Won 18 Caps During this time he won 18 caps for England captaining them and the Football League and playing what he recalled as one of his finest games in goal as a substitute In his first season as leader of the attack he won an FA Cup winners medal when his side beat Huddersfield 1-0 Football was now Billy life When he became too old for the fray he took to the stormier waters of managership to emerge as the most stable of men setting up a long service record with the Forest But first he went as manager to Sheffield Wednesday but after a short stay there he left for Chelmsford City It was from Chelmsford that he Joined Forest in March 1939 to begin another long association which lasted until his death After 21 years as manager of the club he vacated the in July 1960 to become member of the committee Many glorious years with Forest lay behind him He took them from the Third to the Second Division in 1951 up to the first in 1957 and to a successful FA cup final at Wembley in 1959 His Hat Trick He captained Villa in their Cup Final success in 1920 and managed Wednesday when they were successful in 1935 so the Forest victory over Luton was the completion of a unique hat trick But if I may be allowed a personal memory Billy Walker was a man of sympathy and understanding One who made a novice in the complicated world of soccer feel a wanted and understood man He was seldom too busy to help Football historians who will surely write a glowing chapter on Billy Walker will in the final analysis make his summit achievements as the Forest manager towards the end of his long game The man who built a side to win the Cup with money £21000 that would hardly nowadays pay a wages for his club The man who hacked his judgment against the world and triumphed with men whose names come flooding back as Walker proteges Jeff Whitefoot reclaimed from BILLY WALKER Grimsby and still a tower of First Division strength Eddie Bailey Roy Dwight Sailor Brown Billy Baxter Bob McCall Horace Gager Stuart Imlach Joe McDonald Forest as a club not merely a team are really the club that Bill built His death that will be mourned wherever a ball is kicked for pleasure and that was yardstick pleasure will be like taking a cornerstone from under Trent Bridge But on the foundations and formations which he has bequeathed much can be built FA Tribute Mr Dennis Follows secretary of the Football Association said of Mr Walker: was a great figure in football both as a player and an administrator He represented all that was best in the game and football has lost a truly loyal LTS South Leicestershire Cricket League At the annual meeting of the South

president of the LRU and also a member of Old Newtonians said the movement for Saturday county rugby was spreading all over England Success was nearer than many people realised He also praised the County Colts Union which he said was the most progressive in the country Guest of honour was Michael Green author of Art of Coarse who replied in typically witty fashion to proposed by Stapleford Olsen Out In First Round Jose Torres gained a surprise first-round knock-out victory over veteran Carl Bobo Olsen in a light-heavyweight bout at Madison Square Garden New York last night Torres a 28-year-old Puerto Rican stepping up from the middleweight ranks for the first time caught the 35-year-old former middleweight champion with a left to the jaw after a sudden two-handed attack His victory paved the way for a possible title bout with champion Willie Pastrano trying to live up to their past for some years There will be more tension on the staff and there will be much less chance there for Frank to express his undoubted great talent self expression and complete freedom of movement on the field the main factors of his climb to fame while wearing the blue shirt This is the undoubted underlying problem that the former City wing half now has to untangle TUDOR ROAD LEICESTER (Corner Vernon Street) TT ISNT ALL GLAMOUR at Glamour Clubs Former Frank McLintock is finding this out at Highbury where it is generally conceded he has yet to find his Filbert Street form There is a dog-eared legend is tradition who have been round these parts that a player who leaves the confines of the Filbert Street ground rarely does well with his new club It is one which has more than a certain amount of truth in it be able to name exceptions but not many McLintock has time yet to prqve one of the exceptions But he is reported to have said about his move today to inside forward against Man Chester United my transfer from Leicester been taking a while to settle down and still seeking my top form why I welcome the chance to play in the attack A goal might do me McLintock attributes a lot of his troubles to the fact that his family are still in Leiccs ter because his wife is expecting a baby lie travels here every week Big Fish AT THE TIME of his move he was tuned from tender teen aged years to the TOYNBEE MOTORS LIMITED Telephone TUGBY 200 SALES GROUND 135-139
