Jimmy Walker Needs no introduction to any Saddler. He is just starting his testimonial year, having originally come to the club from Notts County. He has always been regarded as one of the best goalkeepers outside of the Premiership and is a “legend” amongst the fans.

Bert Williams Only made 28 appearances for Walsall, during the war years, before going on to fame and fortune with Wolves, where he won his England caps. A great shot stopper, he is usually classed as one of Molyneux’s all time greats.

Phil Parkes Was with Walsall for two seasons, before moving on to QPR, when they were one of the country’s top teams, and West Ham. Managed one England cap (away in Portugal) at a time when he was competing with Shilton and Clemence. Big, dominant and a great shot stopper.
