'''Timothy Walter Raleigh''' (1 July 1895 – 16 October 1960)<ref>{{cite web|url=http://blueseum.org/tiki-index.php?page=Wally+Raleigh|title=Wally Raleigh|publisher=Blueseum - Online Carlton Football Club Museum|accessdate=31 August 2014}}</ref> was an Australian rules footballer who played with Collingwood and Carlton in the Victorian Football League (VFL) and Brunswick in the Victorian Football Association.
Raleigh only managed to play six times during his three seasons at Collingwood and after the war crossed to Carlton. In contrast to his stint with Collingwood, Raleigh barely missed a game for Carlton and played in five finals. The last of those was the narrow loss to Richmond in the 1921 VFL Grand Final, which he played from a half back flank.
After leaving Carlton, Raleigh went to Brunswick in the VFA. He became captain-coach of the team, and led it to the 1925 VFA premiership.
In a 1926 match against Northcote, Raleigh and teammate Hassett reported to the club secretary that a boundary umpire had used abusive language towards them during the match. The Association found the boundary umpire not guilty; and, it found Raleigh and Hassett guilty of having made a false charge against the boundary umpire, and deregistered both players until 31 May 1927.<ref>{{cite news|newspaper=The Argus|publication-place=Melbourne, VIC|title=Brunswick players suspended|date=19 August 1926|page=12}}</ref> The club was so incensed by the outcome that it decided to withdraw from the Association immediately.<ref>{{cite news|newspaper=The Argus|publication-place=Melbourne, VIC|title=Football sensation – club leaves Association|date=21 August 1926|page=32}}</ref> The club was ultimately readmitted to the VFA prior to the following season under a new committee,<ref>{{cite news|newspaper=The Argus|publication-place=Melbourne, VIC|title=Brunswick's position|date=18 January 1927|page=7}}</ref> but Raleigh retired before his suspension was finished.<ref>{{cite news|newspaper=The Argus|publication-place=Melbourne, VIC|title=Football – Brunswick players meet|date=22 February 1927|page=12}}</ref>
