William Howard T. Walton (6 August 1871 – 10 February 1963) was an English footballer who played for Small Heath (now Birmingham City) for fourteen years.
On leaving school he trained to be a silversmith in the Hockley area of Birmingham now known as the Jewellery Quarter, and remained employed in that trade while playing football part-time.
Later in his career he moved back to wing half, where his tireless encouragement of the younger players earned him the nickname "Mother".
He was a guest of the club for the official opening of the St Andrew's ground on Boxing Day 1906, and helped clear snow from pitch and terraces so that the match could go ahead.
He attended both of the FA Cup Finals involving Birmingham, in 1931 and 1956, and visited St Andrew's regularly until not long before his death.
