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.

First time I saw Walker play he has in goal for Oxford @ Wet Spam ( don’t ask ) in a cup match. Last time I saw him in goal for us was against Waste Ham about ten years later. Funny how things like that happen.
Those ten years in between debut and leaving Spurs were mostly utter tripe really with pockets of good things, but I honestly don’t have the same anti Walker feeling as the author does. And I don’t know what the point in having a go at the guy out of nowhere is achieving.
He was not superb, but those around him were pretty inept and you honestly could have had Shilton and Clemence in goal together and continued to ship goals when you had the likes of Calderwood or Vega defending. And frankly Keller was diabolical and Sullivan’s second season you would be forgiven for thinking he was pissed the amount he fucked up.
If anyone needs digging out 20 years later in regards being shit at Spurs it’s Alan Sugar. And only Alan Sugar. The “saviour” who created mediocrity from glory. Walker never picked himself. Many coaches picked him and one chairman never paid to replace him. So I can’t see what having a go at the guy achieves now, target that fucking waster who works with Karen Brady on a shit TV show.
We have had genuine wage thieves over the years at Spurs and never has Walker been in that bracket as far as I am concerned. And I was at the Liverpool game, and that England match against Italy too, yes it was Zola ( Chelsea cunt ) and I don’t have a seconds anger towards Walker for either incident. Sugar I think i’ll detest forever.
Ever want to know how badly Sugar got it at Spurs ? He employed George Graham.

It's quite a tremendous accolade for a player - "he was shite, but not as shite as his team mates"
Which one is he?Doing well over in China.
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

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

Far worse Tottenham keepers, Far, far worse Tottenham men
Not my favourite player, thought he was far too arrogant for his limited abilities.
Knew I was forgetting someone!
Here's a great clip showcasing his talent...
Thank christ for Glenn!
My abiding memory of Walker is him laughing whenever we conceded a really bad goal......exactly the sort of reaction fans want to see
Distain? A jamaican smudge?
Most of the team were shite give him a break....served us for about 12 years didn’t he?
