Walter William Dudley MM was an English professional footballer who played as a full-back in the Football League for Nottingham Forest.[2]

Born in Rotherham and living in Lenton, Dudley spent 14 years at Nottingham Forest, first joining the club in 1900. He played in both full-back positions, often partnering Charlie Craig.[2][3] In 1905, he travelled with Forest on their tour of Argentina and Uruguay.[4][5] He made 299 competitive appearances for the club, including 278 Football League appearances between 1902 and 1914, and also played in 13 friendly matches.[2][6]

After leaving Forest in 1914, Dudley played the following season at Mansfield Mechanics and Doncaster Rovers.[6]

During World War I, Dudley served with the Royal Garrison Artillery, seeing action at Vimy Ridge, Messines, Ypres and Passchendaele. He was awarded the Military Medal in 1918.[6]
