Super Jimmy Walker was loved by all Saddlers. In his time as Walsall was a fan favourite and was a vital part of the team's success in the late 1990s and early 2000s, helping the Saddlers to reach the old First Divison twice and stay there for the longest time in the club's history, before moving up to West Ham in 2004.
