Theo Walcott made his international debut last night in England's 3-1 victory over Hungary. The 17 year old came on in the 65th minute and impressed with his pace and touch.
The Arsenal reservist who has yet to feature for the Gunners first team broke the record previously held by Wayne Rooney by appearing for England aged 17 years 75 days.
Walcott showed glimpses of brilliance last night and nearly scored from a harsh angle late on. The £12.5m signing from Southampton was brought on with Peter Crouch for Michael Owen and Steven Gerrard in what surely must be an indication of Sven Goran Eriksson's plan to have him feature off the bench in World Cup matches.
Sol Campbell also came off the bench late in the match to join Ashley Cole who played a full 90minutes for the three lions.
