He looked too much like that prick "Chesney Hawkes.

Distain? A jamaican smudge?
l was once ( only once in the players bar after a Euro game , guest of Chris Perry) .
Walkers father was waiting for him who l think had been Everton manager or was .
When he arrived he had the charisma of a dead parrot. Lacked any social cohesion .
Chris was a wonderful bloke and Ginola held court like a Recency dandy , polite , warm and engaging. Drinks were free.

Awful keeper that I'm sure the makers of the matrix film modelled that lean back move on.
The way he could lean out the way of the ball then laugh as he picked it out the back of the net was fuckin surreal

Amazing - read the title and thought 'gone too soon.'
Realised he's not dead and then remembered how calamitous he was, and yet at the time he was one of our 'star players'.
Makes me realise how, despite all the whinging, we are currently in a very very good place.

Most of the team were shite give him a break....served us for about 12 years didn’t he?
Yiddo
Yiddo
Mugged us off for 12 years sammy
He never once even looked like he gave a shit
Bad apple and bad keeper
He was part of the attitude that was everything that was wrong with the club at the time
It's quite a tremendous accolade for a player - "he was shite, but not as shite as his team mates"
Was that the bobble? More of the groundsman’s fault perhaps... and I remember a pretty hideous reaction from a lot of our fans. Horrible atmosphere at times back then.
Do we have to?
Not my favourite player, thought he was far too arrogant for his limited abilities.
Walker represents the early years of my spurs support so I have a soft spot for him .Plus he went through hell with his wife's cancer.
I do seem to remember that he would take forever to distribute the ball and would get a cheer on the rare occasion he did throw it out quickly
