Maxwell Henry Norman Walker (12 September 1948 – 28 September 2016) was an Australian sportsman who played both cricket and Australian rules football at high levels.
After six years of balancing first-class cricket in summer, professional football in winter and study for a degree in architecture, Walker earned a place in the Australian cricket team in 1973 and represented his country in the sport until injury ended his career in 1981.
Following his retirement he worked as an architect and also commenced a career in radio and television media.
He wrote 14 books over a period of thirty years and became a successful public speaker.
His unorthodox cricket bowling action earned him the nickname "Tangles", and his larrikin character made him a much-loved figure with the Australian public.
Walker died of multiple myeloma on 28 September 2016 after being diagnosed with the disease three years earlier.
