wikipedia wrote:Walker has a reputation as a "bad boy" of rugby league. In 2004 he was involved in a drunken altercation with police outside a Fortitude Valley nightclub The Roosters club fined the winger and placed him on an alcohol ban for the rest of the season.
In August, 2006, Walker was dropped by Melbourne Storm and was not picked up by any other NRL club. Then in November it was announced that he had been given a trial with the Gold Coast Titans. In early March 2007 after a series of strong performances in pre-season trial matches with the Titans, Walker signed a one-year deal with the Gold Coast club. In the first NRL premiership game for the new club Walker scored two tries, but then broke a bone in his hand early in the second half.
In April, 2007, while sidelined with injury, Walker was reported to have been ejected from a bar after for "bad behaviour". The Gold Coast Titans suspended him as a result and it was later revealed that Walker had been suffering from alcoholism and an anxiety disorder. After a period of rehabilitation and several games in the Queensland Cup, Walker returned to the NRL in Round 19 against the Bulldogs.
In 2008 Walker suffered a season-ending ruptured Achilles tendon for the second time in five months.
In 2009 he attracted interest from European Super League clubs, but said he did not want to play in Europe and he would prefer to stay in the NRL with a Queensland team.
That's a hell of a lot of kicking (unless you're a Union FB in which case it would probably be double 
)
