According to The Sun: Former England player Mark Walters received a special award at the legendary Wembley Stadium, more than 30 years after his only appearance for the national team.

The ex-player of Aston Villa, Rangers, and Liverpool received a Legacy Cap that honors his contributions at all professional levels with the England national team.

He was a fan favorite during his time at Rangers

61-year-old Walters attended the ceremony with his son, Dr. Marlon Walters, to personally receive the award.

Sharing a photo from this important moment on social media, he wrote on X:

“My son Dr. Marlon Walters and I collecting my legacy cap for playing for England at every professional level.”

Fans wasted no time in congratulating him, many noting that Walters' recognition was long overdue.

One wrote:

“This should have been considered much earlier. One of the most underrated players of his time.”

Another added:

“A trailblazer. A legend. A gentleman.”

A third fan remarked:

”I will never forget the celebration of the goal against United at Wembley.”

A fourth mentioned:

“A legend of England and Rangers.”

Walters played for youth and U21 teams, making his debut for the national team in 1991, earning his only cap against New Zealand.

His club career was also impressive – he played for leading teams in England and Scotland, notably under Graeme Souness at Rangers.

Despite a limited number of appearances for the national team, his club career and active community engagement have made him a significant figure in British football.
