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).

—Henry James (1843–1916)
“... in the minds of search committees there is the lingering question: Can she manage the football coach?”
