Quotes on Ian Walker
"I know Ian and I rate him highly..." Neil Sullivan (Tottenham Goalkeeper)
View on Ian Walker
Ian has been Tottenham's number 1 goalkeeper since 1995, and despite a few out of place performances Ian, I feel, is worthy of the number 1 shirt. Although he is not very consistent, he is still a very good goalkeeper. However, with the arrival of Scotland number 1 goalkeeper Neil Sullivan, Ian will have very, VERY strong competition to remain Spurs number one. However, saying that, Ian will have to put in amazing performances to remain number one, and that surely will only be good for Tottenham!
