Afc The Players


Recommended Posts

the local boy from the butter shortbread family from Aberlour, it would appear that throughout his whole carreer he had some of the said butter coated on the fingers of his gloves!

He went through more clubs than an over enthusiastic participant at a seal cull. 10 clubs throughout his illustriust career.from Motherwell he went on to Rangers where he had the embarresmnet of wearing trcksuit bottoms and getting 5 goals whacked past him by Dons strikers on more than one occasion! After Rangers he moved onto Hearts where he was back up to Henry Smith and later Gilles Rouset, then on to Partick where even his goaline heroics could,nt prevent the Jags going down. then Rory Aitken must have thought he would amuse the supporters by bringing in Walker to keep goal . we only had to endure two seaons of butter fingers before he was off to Dingwall. yet amazingly he managed to win Scotland caps

Yup, he was truly pish.

 

My memory of him was a league cup game midweek at Dundee, 0-0 with a minute to go, we have a free-kick outside their box, Kiriakov passes it 10 feet to the the nearest Dundee player, they break down the park, shoot in the middle of the goals, and somehow Walker dived over the ball, my 17 month old would have stopped it.

Pish player. Better than Langfield though.

A Dreadful keeper.

 

But you know me and my stats

 

According to soccer base he played 22 games conceded 32 goals. Which is 1.45 goals per game, Better than langfield this season .

 

Yet some people STILL defend langfield.

 

How good a defence did he have? I'm not actually defending Langfield. However it must be noted he played with jack ifil diamond robertson infront of him, and other such combinations.

He was f**king murder.

 

I remember he did a Langfield at tannadump.

Mind you think it was only the once, perhaps twice unlike our current "keeper" who seems to f**k up everytime down there.

 

Can anyone explain why Langfield continually gets the heebie jeebies against Dundee Utd in particular?

 

Is this some deep rooted phobia?

This is really spooky, me and Jaws were discussing this guy today at work. Cracking Pat Sharp-esque mullet, awful keeper. Remember he had a decent enough debut against Hearts, then afterwards it was all downhill. The Laudrup goal when Walker decided to run out to the halfway line still hurts to this day, WTF was he thinking?

I remember being quite excited when we signed him. Being a naive child at the time I thought the fact he was Scotlands 3rd choice keeper for internationals meant he must be good. He soon became the first Aberdeen player me and my friends at school hated. We even had a highly original nickname for him Dicky Dorker :P The only time I've seen Aberdeen on a sporting bloopers TV show was when Walker slipped on his arse (against Dundee Utd?) and the opposition scored.

One of my darkest moments as an Aberdeen fan was when we signed that shambles of a player. That was probably the moment when I first came to appreciate that Aberdeen was happy to settle for worse than mediocre.

 

Until then we had been a club that brought through and developed youth, or signed exciting players with a future.

 

The whole paradigm changed at that moment. And it was, to my mind, the first step on a path that would reduce our club to what it is now... A shadow of what we could and should be.
