Stuart Walker (born 9 January 1951 in Garforth) is an English former professional football goalkeeper and is currently a physiotherapist at Aston Villa.
Walker began his football career as an apprentice with Leeds United,[2] but joined York City in August 1975 from non-league Tadcaster Albion,[3] making his debut in the 1976-77 season. He played just two league games for York before injury ended his professional career[2] and he returned to non-league football with Marine.
Walker initially worked in Rugby League with Leeds and was Castleford's physio when they played on the 1985 Challenge Cup Final at Wembley.[3] He then returned to football and became physio at Sunderland. In July 1998 he was awarded a degree in physiotherapy from the University of Salford while working as the physio at Chester City.[2]
He became physio at Aston Villa under manager John Gregory and after a spell as Shrewsbury Town physio[4] also worked under Gregory with Derby County. He left Derby under a cloud after being suspended along with Gregory and assistant manager Ross McLaren in March 2003.[5][6]
He subsequently returned to Aston Villa as physio and following the departure of manager David O'Leary Walker was temporarily one of Villa's first team coaches under caretaker manager Roy Aitken.
