Bill A. Walker

William Armley "Johnnie" Walker (29 August 1886 – 8 November 1934)[1] was an Australian rules footballer who played for Essendon in the VFL.

[5] Josephine Harnett was the licensee of the Tankerville Arms Hotel, Nicholson Street, Fitzroy for twenty years.

[6] A ruckman, he made his senior VFL debut in 1911 and was a member of Essendon's 1911 and 1912 premiership teams.

In July 1913 Walker, who played in a long-sleeved guernsey, was reported by both Dan Feehan, the match steward, and Jack Elder, the central umpire, for striking (ex-Essendon) Fitzroy's Jim Martin with his elbow during the 26 July 1913 match against Fitzroy.

Jack Woolley also appeared before the tribunal, stating that he had worn a short-sleeved guernsey, and that it was he, rather than Walker, who had had struck Martin with his elbow.
