I’d go as far as to say after Hoddle & Fjortoft, Walters is the most talented player I’ve seen in a Town shirt
Mark was a talented player and fun to watch.... Town fans up to that point always had a bit of a soft spot for an enigmatic winger. Not sure I'd quite rate him that highly in the pantheon, and I'm not including players back into my early years. For example I'd have Mickey Hazard above JAF.
Mark, though does sort of give us an indicator to our current situation.
A player of his class, although past 30 when he came to us, wasn't cheap, those late 90's years, were about spending money we didn't have to get someone of his talent.
Crowds were around 8000 average.... when we had the odd good spell, we might get 10,000, but that'd soon drop off, when as more often happened it was poor. The upshot was Admin, and Mark was freed off to Rovers. The response to Admin in 99/00 was to sell anything that could be sold, and relegation duly happened. In other words second tier football was unsustainable, and we've not been back.
I'm sure we'd all like to see the modern day equivalent of MW.... but we'll have to settle for Matty Taylor, because as he's that bit older we can afford him.
