George Walker
signed for Saints in 1927 from Rosslyn Juniors.
A centre half in the classic mould he nurtured the ability to turn in quality
performances game after game.
He was equally confident in his defensive duties as he was assisting the attack
and these skill factors earned him a call up to the national squad to face
France
in May 1930.
Further caps followed the following year against
Northern Ireland
,
Austria
and
Switzerland
.
Continuing his consistent performances for Saints he gained one further honour
when he played for the Scottish league against the
Irish league in 1932 before a £3,000 fee saw him leave for
Notts
County
in 1933.
