“Commonly known as “Tangles” to friends, fans and opponents alike is one of those rarities in sport.  A man who became a champion in tow entirely different fields and a character in each.  Born in Hobart, Tasmania, Max’s path to sporting success was paradoxical in a state that has produced many stars in Victorian League football most of whom were exported to the mainland.
Max Walker was a child prodigy in both cricket and football.  It was football that brought him to Melbourne under the aegis of the prestigious Melbourne Football Club, but it was cricket in which he made his international reputation.”
