Top Six Essentials: Danny Walker

Have you ever thought about what things you couldn't live without?

If you were asked on the spot, what would be the first things that spring to mind? Apart from the Betfred Super League, of course!

In the latest ‘Top Six Essentials’ we asked Warrington Wolves hooker, Danny Walker, ahead of his side’s eagerly anticipated Rivals Round fixture against Leigh Leopards on Easter Saturday (live on BBC Two)…

Danny Walker's Top Six Essentials:

Walker has been an ever-present essential for the Wolves in 2025 - and arguably their much-loved main joker of the squad, but what are the must-haves in his life?

Daughters

"My two daughters, I can’t live without them and that obviously speaks for itself!"

Trainers

"I can’t live without trainers - I’ve got a huge obsession!

"I’m a Nike man, I like my Nike shoes, especially my Nike 110s. You know, anything with a bit of a heel on or platform because I’m short…anything that will make me an inch or two taller – I’ll always take it!"

Small but mighty!

Phone

"I 100% can’t live without my phone. Who can, you know what I mean?"

We do know what you mean! We don't think anybody could live without their phone these days!

The Boys

"I’ve got to go with the boys, you know what I mean? These are in no particular order by the way...

"I couldn’t live without the boys because that’s one of the main reasons why I do rugby – to be part of a group and be in that team environment.

But who is your bestest mate in the squad?

"That's a bit of a tough one – I’m a bit of a social butterfly and I like to speak to anyone, so I can’t choose between them, that would be too hard.

"They’d probably say that they can live without me though!"

Don’t put yourself down, Danny!

Having a holiday booked

"You've got to have a holiday booked, haven't you? That would be another one of my essentials! One of my favourite places to go is Mexico – I love a holiday there..."

Chocolate

“I need chocolate in my life. My favourite chocolate has to be anything with caramel in it – Wispa Gold, Dairy Milk Caramel or those Dairy Milk Caramel buttons they do…

“I’d started off the year without having any chocolate for over a month, but I soon broke it and had a KitKat – I’ve been trying watch the rig!

“My version of Dry January was ‘No chocolate January’ – I tried ‘Dry Jan’ and that didn’t work out…"

There's always next year!
