Phil Walker Football Career

Walker and his teammate Trevor Lee joined the Lions in 1975 after leaving Epson & Ewell.

He later developed a following and helped the south London team gain promotion to the previous Second Division.

After 167 appearances, the midfielder—the uncle of current Southampton and England defender Kyle Walker-Peters—moved to Charlton for a £120,000 transfer in July 1979, where he spent the remainder of his playing days until concluding his career with Boavista in Portugal.

Walker opened a soccer school in Wandsworth, south London, after moving back to England.

With his violent shooting and equally hard running, notably with his box-to-box adventures, Phil went on to become a fan favorite. Additionally, he had a peach of a left foot that helped him achieve his goals.

Following a loan with Gillingham, Phil joined Eastern FC of Hong Kong in May 1983, and starting in 1985, he had a fantastic run with clubs like Leixoes and FC Maia in Portugal. Carlos Fanguerio was introduced to Millwall by Phil in August 2005. In Wandsworth, Phil opened a soccer school after arriving back in England. Phil played 167 appearances and scored 22 goals for Millwall.
