John Walker (born 12 December 1973) is a Scottish former professional footballer, who played as a midfielder. He notably played for Clydebank and Mansfield Town in a career that lasted between 1990 and 2004.
Walker started his professional career with Rangers but in three years at Ibrox he only managed three first team appearances.[citation needed] In 1993, he transferred to Clydebank. He then made a move to England in 1995, signing with Grimsby Town. He was brought Blundell Park by Brian Laws as the club's highest paid player;[citation needed] after three years he then joined Mansfield Town following a loan spell at the club.
After spending time on trial with Scarborough and Kingstonian,[2] he returned to Scotland in March 2000 to play out his career for Greenock Morton, Clydebank and Hamilton Academical. While playing for Hamilton in March 2003, he failed a random drugs test and was subsequently banned from football for three months.[4]
