Jimmy Walker
Scottish Hockey is sad to hear of the passing of Jimmy Walker. Hockey player; a Councillor and JP in Dundee; and a Sergeant in the Black Watch – Jimmy Walker was one of a kind.
Jimmy was a lively character in hockey and was hockey’s first professional in Scotland when he became Director of the Administration of Men in 1980.
He was a goalkeeper with a playing career at Grove Menzieshill, and also at Dundee Wanderers just after war. He even played for a ladies mix teams at New Year!
He was Midlands Hockey President in 1975 and SHA president in 1978. He was also Midland District Secretary before becoming the last Midlands Hockey Association men’s president.
Jimmy retired in 1985 after five years commuting daily Dundee-Edinburgh for hockey in Scotland.
Our thoughts are with Jimmy’s family and friends.
