He took 8 catches in the match with Derbyshire at Swansea in 1970, a record of 67 catches in 1961, and a career total of 656.

After his playing profession, Walker moved into the media before returning as chief executive of the Cricket Board of Wales in 1996. He was Glamorgan president in 2009 and 2010 before being awarded an MBE in 2011.
