Walker was born on 9 July 1973 at 3.00am in Sutton-in- Ashfield, Nottinghamshire, weighing 7lbs 13oz. His father, Barry, was employed as a miner before working in an office, while his mother ran her own hairdressing salon. He has a younger sister, Elizabeth. When Walker was eleven years old, his parents divorced, and he continued to live with his mother. Within a year, his father married again to his step-mother, Hilary.

Walker helped West Ham win promotion in 2005, but a serious knee injury in the closing stages of the play-off final saw him miss the majority of the 2005–06 season. He made his first appearance since the knee injury, and his Premiership debut at the age of 32, in a 4–2 defeat to Portsmouth in March

2006. He made only two more first team appearances, though collected a FA Cup Final runners up medal as an unused substitute in May 2006. The presence of Roy Carroll and Robert Green as goalkeepers at West Ham during the 2006–07 season meant that Walker’s first-team chances were limited; in spite of this, he still remained a popular figure at Upton Park.

On 27 November 2008, Walker signed on loan for Colchester United. He made his debut for Colchester on 29 November 2008 in their 2–1 victory against Northampton Town and played 16 times for the club before returning to West Ham.

Walker’s successes at Walsall included promotion from Division Three in 1995 and from Division Two in 1999 and again in 2001. He was nicknamed “Wacka” by the Walsall fans.
