Doug Walters won the hearts and minds of cricket fans that regularly flocked to the Hill. Such was his popularity that in 1975 a fan by the name of Tom Bridges erected a tarpaulin banner proclaiming a shelter near the scoreboard to be the Doug Walters Stand. In 1985 the Trust appropriately named the new hill stand the Doug Walters Stand.
