Life Away From Football
Whilst at Oxford University, Walters made one appearance for the University cricket team in a match against the M.C.C. in May 1885, when he was the wicket-keeper. In his one innings, he scored nine runs in a drawn match.
Walters spent some time as a volunteer in the army, and in June 1886, he was promoted to the rank of lieutenant in the 3rd Surrey Rifles.
Walters qualified as a barrister and was called to the bar in 1888.
He died on 6 October 1936 at Ashtead, Surrey (aged 73 years).

Famous quotes containing the words life and/or football:
“Chaucer sawed life in half and out tumbled hundreds of unpremeditated lives, because he didn’t have the cast-iron grid of a priori coherence that makes reading Goethe, Shakespeare, or Dante an exercise in searching for signs of life among the conventions, compulsions, self-justifications, proofs, wise saws, simple but powerful messages, and poetry.”
—Marvin Mudrick (1921–1986)
“In this dream that dogs me I am part
Of a silent crowd walking under a wall,
Leaving a football match, perhaps, or a pit,
All moving the same way.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
