Andrew Francis Walker (born 6 April 1965 in Glasgow) is a Scottish former footballer, who played as a striker for several clubs in Scotland and England, including Motherwell, Celtic, Bolton Wanderers, Sheffield United and Ayr United. He also made three full international appearances for Scotland. Since retiring as a player, Walker has become a television pundit.
Walker started his career with Motherwell in 1984, before moving to Celtic in the summer of 1987. His first season at Celtic Park was hugely successful, as the Bhoys won the double in their centenary season and Walker himself earned a first Scotland cap against Colombia. The following 3 seasons were less fruitful however and by 1991–92 Walker was out of the first team picture.
After loan spells with Newcastle United and Bolton Wanderers, he joined the Burnden Park side permanently in 1992. At Bolton, Walker returned to his form of 1987–88, establishing a prolific partnership with John McGinlay as the Lancashire side earned promotion to the First Division in 1992–93. That same season, he famously scored at Anfield to help the Trotters knock holders Liverpool out of the FA Cup. Walker continued in the same vein the following season until sustaining a serious knee injury against Swansea City.
