Theo Walcott�s inclusion in Sven-Goran Eriksson�s FIFA World Cup� squad caused jaws to drop across England, yet those who have seen the 17-year-old at close quarters believe he will soon get an identical reaction to his feats on a football pitch.

Walcott has had a whirlwind year which began at his first club Southampton last August. After 21 appearances and four goals, he joined Arsenal in January and has since been learning his trade with the reserves.

Blessed with enough pace to be able to out-sprint Thierry Henry on the training ground, he has represented England at every level up to U-19.
