Re: Kyle Walker
Fantastic player. Also, I don't know whether Im seeing this but Ive been watching his interactions with the referees. It's like the refs treat him differently, like they realise they are talking to a guy who has 90 England caps, there seems to be a lot more respect and tolerance of talking from him...
