TEX - PRE-ORDER NOW

"I’m so grateful that this kid from Broken Hill got the
chance to live out his dream."
Taylor ‘Tex’ Walker, a skinny teenager from Broken Hill,
became Adelaide’s first AFL NSW Scholarship player in 2006.
He was drafted to the Crows in 2007 and made his senior debut
in 2009. He had a breakout year in 2011, kicking 63 goals.
Walker captained the Crows between 2015 and 2018, twice
being voted the AFLPA Best Captain. He was Adelaide's
leading goalkicker seven times in his 19 seasons and became
their greatest ever goalkicker in 2020 when he kicked his 441st
goal, surpassing Tony Modra's previous record. In 2023 he
turned back the clock and was rewarded with his first All-
Australian, aged 33. He also won the coveted Showdown Medal
that year. Walker has recently retired this year, he is third on the club’s
games record list with over 318 games and over 700+ goals –
the first player in Crows history to reach the rare 700-goal
milestone. He and his wife, Ellie, live in Adelaide and are proud
parents of their three kids, Hugo, Louis and Harriet. Walker
retired as one of Adelaide's greatest players – a champion
forward and cult hero.
This is a ‘Taylor made’ story about making the most of your
talent, staying true to who you are, always challenging
yourself to improve, on and off the field, and appreciating
every single person who helps to make your dreams come
true. And having a good time while you’re at it
