Percy Melmoth Walters (30 September 1863 – 6 October 1936) was an English amateur footballer who played as a defender for the Old Carthusians and the Corinthians in the late nineteenth century as well as making thirteen appearances for England, five as captain.
In his final year at Oxford, Walters followed his younger brother and joined the Corinthian club which had been established three years earlier with a view to giving amateur players the opportunity to play together on a regular basis to improve the quality and strength of the England team.
Amongst the more significant matches were a 6–0 defeat of the FA Cup holders, Blackburn Rovers, in December 1885 and a 7–0 victory over Notts County in March 1886, when fellow Old Carthusian William Cobbold scored four goals.
Finally, the two clubs met a few weeks later in a cricket match in which Percy played alongside several other prominent Corinthians, including Fry, Lindley and Charles Wreford-Brown.
[10] On 17 March 1888, Percy played at left-back (alongside Bob Howarth of Preston North End) when England achieved their first victory over Scotland since 1879.
In "a brilliant display of attacking football"[11] England were 5–0 winners, including two goals from Fred Dewhurst, thus securing their first victory on Scottish soil.

During his football career, Walters also played for East Sheen and Epsom in 1884 and 1885, was a founder member of Ewell F.C.
