Walker was a star for Nottingham Forest, Sheffield Wednesday and England. He was one of the stars of the 1990 World Cup for Bobby Robson's sides. Walker subsequently became England's defensive linchpin after Butcher decided to retire and his was one of the first names on the team sheet even after Graham Taylor had taken over as manager. In 2007, he came out top alongside Peter Swan in a poll to find Sheffield Wednesday's two greatest ever centre backs on the website Vital Football. He was a rock for The Owls with his pace, marking and reading of the game. Despite not being the tallest centre-half he could leap to beat the tallest forwards in the air and his pace meant even the quickest and most skillful forwards very rarely got any change from him. He would play entire seasons without missing a game and the only criticism was his inconsistent distribution. Defensively he was probably one of the best markers and timers of the tackle of all time, which was demonstrated with a remarkably low amount of bookings despite often dispossessing opponents with sliding challenges from all directions. At the height of his career, Forest and Owls fans frequently chanted ''You'll never beat Des Walker.'' This was turned into ''You'll never meet Des Walker'' as a private joke among journalists, commenting on Walker's refusal to talk to the press at this point Des WALKER | 1989-1990 | PES Stats Database (Golden Era Backup)
