proudtobeabuddy Posted October 26, 2021 Report Share Posted October 26, 2021 Sad news. He was a great manager and by all accounts a good guy as well. He did a great job when he was the manager of the national team too, RIP Walter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billyg Posted October 26, 2021 Report Share Posted October 26, 2021 There has been a genuine outpouring of grief for Walter , and he certainly had a great career , both in club and international football. That said , I sat on the SAFA disciplinary committee for several years in the 90s and 2000s and got to know several ex senior officials who were still reffing in the junior and amateur leagues. I have to say , they were not as kind with their views on Walter and one (nameless) in particular ,who handled a lot of high profile games in the 80s, said he was the most arrogant character in Scottish football !

faraway saint Posted October 26, 2021 Report Share Posted October 26, 2021 Met him at a sportsman's dinner quite a few years ago, couldn't have been any nicer Spoke well, done the rounds and was there till the end of the night. A decent man and pretty good football manager. All the best Mr Smith. ☹️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guinness Posted October 26, 2021 Report Share Posted October 26, 2021 Was surprised to see this mentioned in the Official site. They do not always mention ex Saints players in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
