Mr Kevin Walters

Walters played for the Canberra Raiders before moving to the Brisbane Broncos, where he played for the majority of his career and took over the club's captaincy. He has played in premiership-winning teams on six occasions and holds the record for most finals appearances.

Walters grew up playing football alongside future Brisbane Broncos (and Queensland) team mate Allan Langer and brothers Steve and Kerrod Walters. This combination of players was known famously as "The Ipswich Connection".

Walters made his State of Origin debut for the Queensland Maroons in 1989, as a reserve. Later that year he got his first taste of premiership success, playing from the bench in the 1989 Grand Final win for Canberra.
Walters returned to Queensland in 1990, signing with the Brisbane Broncos to play alongside his twin brother Kerrod once again. That year he won the Broncos' Player of the Year award. Walters also made selection for the 1990 Kangaroo tour of Britain and France with twin brother Kerrod.

During the 1992 Great Britain Lions tour of Australia and New Zealand, Walters helped Australia retain The Ashes. Later that year he helped the Broncos to victory in the 1992 Grand Final. The Walters brothers achieved another milestone when all three were selected to tour with the World Cup squad in 1992. The following year Walters again proved a great utility for the Broncos' 1993 grand final victory.

During the 1994 NSWRL season, Walters played for defending premiers Brisbane when they hosted British champions Wigan for the 1994 World Club Challenge. At the end of the season, he went on the 1994 Kangaroo tour. Walters also played in the 1997 Super League Grand Final victory for Brisbane.

Walters was part of the winning 1998 State of Origin team and that year won yet another NRL grand final with the Broncos. In 1999, with the retirement of Allan Langer, Walters was handed the Broncos' captaincy. He also captained Queensland in the second match of the 1999 State of Origin series.

He captained the Broncos in their 2000 NRL grand final before moving to England at the request of Allan Langer. In 2003 Walters was one of the first four former players inducted into the Broncos official Hall of Fame and in 2007 was named one of the 20 best ever players to play for them.
