*Sunday Life*
Sunday, 8 September 1991

TEENAGE goalkeeper lan Walker had Tottenham's fans drooling again at Villa Park. And after his third consecutive clean sheet they are beginning to believe he will become as big a hit as the peerless Pat Jennings. Walker, the 19-year-old currently keeping Norwegian star Erik Thorstvedt out of the side, has already wowed the fans this season with a one-handed catch in the heat of the match at Nottingham Forest the kind of save that was almost a trade mark of former Spurs and Northern Ireland legend Jennings. Walker didn't need such showmanship this time, but he still caught everything Villa could throw at him with a confidence that bordered on arrogance. Villa ran the game and Spurs' £3m strike force of Gary Lineker and Gordon Durie hardly got a kick. Villa manager Ron Atkinson could not be challenged when he declared: “For passing and control it was our best performance of the season." But Walker stopped it being a winning one as well with a 73rd minute save that defied Shaun Teale's close range header.
