More on Mike Walker
Description from Wikipedia:
Michael Stewart Gordon "Mike" Walker (born November 28, 1945 in Colwyn Bay, Wales) is a Welsh former footballer and manager.
Walker started his playing career as a goalkeeper with Reading in January 1963. He joined Shrewsbury Town in June 1964 and also played for York City F.C., Watford F.C., Charlton Athletic F.C. and most notably Colchester United for whom he made 363 league appearances for. Perhaps the most memorable moment in Walker's playing career came when lower division Watford knocked Bill Shankly's Liverpool out of the FA Cup in the early 1970s, in what was considered to be a major cup upset and a result which convinced Shankly of the need to dismantle his aging side and begin building a new team. Walker himself played a vital part in Watford's victory by saving a penalty, something which endeared him to Everton supporters many years before he became Everton manager.
Walker did not return to football until taking over again at Norwich in June 1996, by which time the Canaries had been relegated to Division One. He remained in charge for two seasons but resigned after they failed to return to the Premiership. Since leaving Norwich, Walker has had a spell managing in Cyprus for APOEL.
Mike Walker is the father of Ian Walker, the former England goalkeeper and current Bolton Wanderers player. Mike Walker was himself a former professional goalkeeper with Watford and Colchester United and he was capped by Wales.
