Biography


Walker started his career with Elgin City in the Highland League before signing for Leicester City aged 17. He didn’t settle in the Midlands though, and returned to Scotland within the year, signing for Motherwell in 1981. Two years later, he moved again, this time signing for Rangers, where he soon established himself as the Light Blues first choice keeper.

Walker joined Heart of Midlothian in a £125,000 deal.

Walker’s time at Tynecastle developed into a see-saw battle with Henry Smith for the starting goalkeeping role, both men earning international recognition when in the Hearts first team but enduring significant spells on the sidelines. Smith eventually won the duel and, after a loan spell with Burnley, Walker moved to Partick Thistle in 1994 in a part-exchange deal for Craig Nelson.

Firhill proved a happy home for Walker, and he enjoyed his most consistent period in the West of Glasgow. When Thistle were relegated in 1996, his form was sufficient to earn a £60,000 move to high-flying Aberdeen. He left Pittodrie in 1999 after he was supplanted by Derek Stillie, winding down his career at Ross County and a short spell at rivals near Inverness Caledonian Thistle.

Walker currently holds the clubs record for the goalkeeper with most clean sheets (54) between 1997 - 2001.
