Walter Ronald Sewell (19 July 1890 – 4 February 1945) was an English professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper for Gainsborough Trinity, Burnley, Blackburn Rovers and England.
The following season he joined Burnley, for whom he appeared in their 1914 FA Cup Final victory against Liverpool, although he never really established himself as a first-team regular in a Turf Moor career which was interrupted by the First World War.
The match, against Wales on 3 March 1924, was played at Blackburn's Ewood Park ground, and England lost 2–1.
[4] After leaving Blackburn Rovers, Sewell re-joined Gainsborough Trinity and was a member of their Midland League championship-winning side of 1927–28.
Whilst playing for Gainsborough in an away Midland League match against Doncaster Rovers Reserves on 9 March 1929, he sustained a hand injury[5] that eventually prompted his retirement from football.
