Alfred Samuel (Alf) Walker (c. 1887 – 14 September 1961) was an English footballer.
Walker played for Northampton Town, Brentford and Wolverhampton Wanderers, before joining Port Vale in 1911.[1] He enjoyed regular football in Burslem, and helped the side lift the Birmingham Senior Cup in 1913. However, he lost his place in October 1913 and after colliding with low railings at The Old Recreation Ground on 26 January 1914 was out of action for some time. He was released at the end of the season and moved on to Dunfermline Athletic.[2]
