Walter Cox (footballer, born 1849)

Walter Cox (1849–1925) was an English footballer and manager for Stoke.

Career
Cox was another ex-Stoke player who stepped into the manager's seat vacated by Thomas Slaney in 1883. Cox's reign however was a comparatively short one, and he was replaced by Harry Lockett after less than a year in charge. He played in and managed the club's first competitive match in the FA Cup which Stoke lost 2–1 against Manchester.
