John Walker (17 November 1883 – 16 December 1968) was a Scottish professional footballer who played as a left back and is perhaps best remembered for his six seasons in the Southern League with Swindon Town.[3][4] He also played in the Scottish League for Raith Rovers, Rangers and Cowdenbeath and in the Football League for Middlesbrough and Reading.[2][5][6][7][8] Although convicted of sexual assault and imprisoned in 1917, he was able to resume his career upon being released.[1] After retiring from football he ran a fish-and-chip shop in Swindon.[1]
