Obituary |
"FOOTBALLER OF 'EIGHTIES
"Mr. Arthur Melmoth Walters,
whose death at Minnickwood, Holmwood, Surrey, has been announced, was a
great amateur football player of the 'eighties, who played nine times for
England in full Association internationals. He was 76 years old. A. M.
Walters was noted for his fearless charging, and a comment on his play in
international matches stated that 'he heads as well as any professional
and better than most.' He played five times against Scotland, three times
against Wales and once against Ireland. A.M. went to Trinity College,
Cambridge, where he graduated with honours in mathematics. He played in
the University matches and it says much for his defensive play that
Cambridge won all four matches with a total of 11 goals against one. Mr.
Walters was a solicitor, and had been president of the council of the Law
Society. He was a director of the London Guarantee and Accident Company
and of the Phoenix Assurance Company." -
