Maxwell Henry Norman Walker AM (born 12 September 1948) is a former Australian cricketer and VFL/AFL footballer. Formerly an architect, he currently works as a media commentator and motivational speaker and has diverse business interests.
Walker was educated at The Friends' School, Hobart and Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology graduating with a Fellowship Diploma of Architecture.
Walker started his sports career when he played Australian rules football with the Melbourne Football Club from 1967 to 1972. He was a ruckman and defender who played 85 games and scored 23 goals. He played senior football at VFL level, never playing locally in Tasmania. After his foray in football he moved to cricket.
Walker then moved to cricket and played 70 first-class games for Victoria and 38 Tests for Australia, taking 138 wickets as a medium-fast bowler. He played in 29 ODI's between 1974 and 1981, including matches during World Series Cricket from 1977 to 1979. His strange bowling action, particularly the way he moved his feet, earned Walker the nickname of "Tangles" or "Tanglefoot".
