Revision as of 02:17, 2 May 2006 by TheMadTim (talk | contribs) (Celtic FC are not bitter.)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)Mark Walters (born June 2, 1964) is a former professional footballer. He was an attacking goal scoring winger.
He was famously the first black player and one of the first Catholic players for Glasgow's Rangers club, which has very Protestant roots. On his debut for Rangers against their Old Firm rivals Celtic, Walters was subjected to the worst incident of racism in British sport when thousands of bananas were thrown at him, one Celtic fan came to the match dressed in a gorilla suit. He followed manager Graeme Souness to Liverpool, which was ironic as he shared his middle name (Everton) with Liverpool's fierce city rivals.
He won several caps for the full England side.
He is now retired but still plays in the masters football competitions for Rangers.
