An English football legend hangs up his cleats! This Friday, Theo Walcott officially announced that he was retiring at the age of 34. The Stanmore native started his career at Swindon Town before continuing his education at Southampton. But it was really at Arsenal that the twirling British right winger made a name for himself, notably under the leadership of Arsène Wenger who made him an indisputable starter despite his young age.

Between 2006 and 2018, The Gunner played a total of 397 games for 108 goals. After a stint at Everton between 2018 and 2021, the Englishman opted for a return to the Saints as the ultimate experience. At the same time, he will have worn the Three Lions tunic 47 times (8 achievements) between 2006 and 2016. Despite his 18 years of experience at the high level, Théo Walcott has only two crowns in the FA Cup (2015 and 2017 ) and one in Community Shield (2007) to his credit.
