Dawson Walker

Dawson Walker (14 March 1916 – 17 August 1964) was manager of the Scotland national football team in 1958. Walker was left in charge of the players due to the Munich air disaster, in which official manager Matt Busby was seriously injured.

Career

Walker became trainer for Clyde when Johnny Haddow was appointed manager in 1956. He had previously been trainer for Ashfield Juniors.

While the trainer at Shawfield, Walker would later become the trainer for the Scottish League XI and then the Scotland national team. He was Scotland's trainer on more than 80 occasions - an all-time record then.

Along with Haddow, both men resigned from their positions with the club in 1962.
