Walter A. Abbott (16 December 1898 – 1945) was an English footballer who played in the Football League for Grimsby Town.

Life and career

Abbott was born in Birmingham, England, on 16 December 1898.[1] He was a son of England international footballer Walter Abbott.[2]

Abbott made five appearances for Second Division club Grimsby Town in the 1919–20 season. He failed to score for the first team,[3] but succeeded for the reserves, playing in the Midland League. A goal in each fixture against Chesterfield Municipal probably contributed to his joining that club for the 1920–21 season,[4] during which he scored five goals from about 28 league matches.[1] His next club was Worcester City, for whom he scored eight Birmingham & District League goals and one in the FA Cup in the first half of the 1921–22 season,[5] He followed this with spells at several more clubs in the Midlands: Redditch, Oakengates Town, Tamworth Castle and Stewart Street Old Boys.[3]

Abbott died in Birmingham in 1945 at the age of 46.[1]
