Career

Waller signed a professional contract at Crewe in 1982. After scoring 55 goals in four season at Gresty Road, he was sold to Shrewsbury for £20,000 in 1986, but suffered an injury soon after, and was sold for £3,000 to Chesterfield, becoming the last player signed by John Duncan during his first spell in charge. [2]

Waller scored 37 goals in his first two seasons at Chesterfield; in the 1988–89 season he equalled Jimmy Cookson's feat of scoring in eight successive League games. [2] However, he suffered a serious cruciate ligament injury during the following season (his 16 league goals still made him the club's leading scorer), [3] and eventually left the club, playing for non-league teams while running a stall on Chesterfield's market. He was player/manager at Glapwell in 1993, and retired from football at the end of the 1997–1998 season. [2]
