Walter Stott

Along with E. R. Richards and A. B. Craig, W. D. Stott came out of retirement to join the Great Britain squad for the 1928 Amsterdam Olympics, but did not get to play. Stott played his league lacrosse with the Manchester-based Monton club and, because he spent most of his career in the second division, Monton never appeared in a Senior Northern Flags final. Stott did, however, win representative honours with The North and also with Lancashire, and scored in the 18-3 win over Yorkshire in 1922. He scored four goals in Lancashire’s 11-6 win over Cheshire in 1925.

Stott was also active in track and field as well as boxing during this time at Manchester Grammar School. He also saw service in World War I with the Lancashire Fusiliers and was awarded the Military Cross. He later farmed in Southport, Lancashire before retiring to Anglesey, Wales.
