Walter Cox (footballer, born 1849)

Walter Cox (born 1849, date of death unknown) was an English footballer who played as a forward. He is primarily known for his association with the Wanderers Football Club, a prominent amateur club in the early years of organised football.

Cox played for Wanderers during a period of considerable success for the club. While precise details of his playing career are scarce, historical records indicate he was part of the Wanderers team during the early to mid 1870s. During this time, Wanderers were a dominant force in the FA Cup, winning the competition in 1872 and 1873. Although it is difficult to definitively confirm his participation in every match due to incomplete records from that era, historical sources suggest that Cox was a member of the squad during these cup-winning seasons.

His contribution to the development of the game is acknowledged as part of the broader history of the Wanderers and early English football. Information about Walter Cox is limited due to the nature of record-keeping during the early years of football. Additional details regarding his personal life, career outside of football, or precise playing statistics remain largely unknown.
