Played a big part in the hauling the club from near penury and ridicule to being a top rate competitive force in less than 5 years. RIP Walter and Thanks Very Much for all you did for Hearts. Pretty much this for me also. Rip Walter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mellors1874 Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 Surprised the club have said nothing of Walters passing.

Carl Fredrickson Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 As has been mentioned by many the main memory was of Walter crossing balls for Henry and often in games Henry would command the full 18 yard box. As a fan the crossing and catching pre-match was worth turning up early to see. I dont think I ever met Walter but I am ever so grateful for his input along with Sandy and Doddie in restoring pride back into our club. RiP Walter.
