David Harold Waller (born 20 December 1963 in Urmston, Lancashire) is an English former professional footballer who played in the Football League, as a forward for clubs including Crewe Alexandra, Shrewsbury Town and Chesterfield. 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. 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. However, he suffered a serious cruciate ligament injury during the following season (his 16 league goals still made him the club's leading scorer), 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. References
