ericblack4boss Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 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 Link to comment
RUL Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Awful keeper, still have nightmares about his performances, Laudrup's goal from about 50 yards being a stand out Walker disaster. Link to comment
zander Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Surprisingly Millertime rated him Link to comment
hopeisimportant Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Remember he slipped whilst taking a goal kick against Utd? He was total Jerel. Link to comment
Kilkito Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 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.

altogi Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Could possibly be the worse keeper Aberdeen have ever had. Link to comment

Better than Langfield though. Link to comment

The Boofon Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 I don't think so like He played for Aberlour in his later days and my old man scored past him direct from a centre circle kick off. Same deal as Maguire's for the U21's. Link to comment

King Street Loon Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Absolutely terrible player. Link to comment
Maniac Cop Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Remember he slipped whilst taking a goal kick against Utd? He was total Jerel. Thats what i was going to mention when I saw this thread. Slipped on his arse and kicked the ball straight to Robbie Winters, Kombouare could just stand by and watch. Link to comment
Stoney Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 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. Link to comment

However it must be noted he played with jack ifil diamond robertson infront of him, and other such combinations. Link to comment

tup Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Also sported one of the most preposterous mullets of all time. Quite why he never made the Mullet edition of Top Trumps only Waddingtons can explain. Link to comment
Betty Swallicks Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 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. Link to comment

Can anyone explain why Langfield continually gets the heebie jeebies against Dundee Utd in particular? Is this some deep rooted phobia? Link to comment

It certainly seems like it. I'm sh*t scared of wasps and every time I see one I get all panicky. Clangers is the same with the Jutes. Link to comment
Dandyjam Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Awful keeper, Aitken signed him off of one decent season at Partick when he got in Scotland squad. Made Michael Watt seem good. Link to comment
OddJob Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 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? Link to comment
NorthernLights24 Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 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 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.

Walt Flanagan's Dog Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Saw him get lobbed from the halfway line at Firhill when playing for Partick against us. Stephen Wright I think it was who scored it after Walker had raced 30 yards from his goal and headered the ball away. Link to comment
Ke1t Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 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. Link to comment
