Jock WALKER
Suffice to say that Jock played nine times for Scotland while with the Town - then a non-League club ! A 'tough as nails' left-back, Jock cost the club less than £100 when he joined them in June 1907. When he left almost six years later, it was for £1100 plus 'Boro full-back Allan McRobbie - valued at £250. Had it been a straight cash deal, it would have been a British record transfer fee. Jock later opened a restaurant and greengrocery at the junction of Manchester Road and Corporation Street.
