*Club domestic league appearances and goals |
Walter A. Abbott (1899 – after 1921) was a footballer who played in the Football League for Grimsby Town.
Abbott was born in Birmingham, England, in 1899.[1] He was the son of England international footballer Walter Abbott.[2]
Abbott made five appearances for Second Division club Grimsby Town in the 1919–20 season. He failed to score for the first team,[1] but succeeded for the reserves, playing in the Midland League. A goal in each fixture against Chesterfield Municipal probably contributed to his joining that club for the 1920–21 season,[3] during which he scored five goals from about 36 league matches.[4] His next club was Worcester City, for whom he scored eight Birmingham & District League goals and one in the FA Cup in the first half of the 1921–22 season,[5] He followed this with spells at several more clubs in the Midlands: Redditch, Oakengates Town, Tamworth Castle and Stewart Street Old Boys.[1]
