England can't stop winning with Theo Walcott in the team.
Arsenal's flying winger Theo Walcott, now 21, has now featured in 12 England matches…and England have won all 12.
He became his country's youngest player at 17 years 75 days when making his debut as a substitute for Michael Owen in an Old Trafford friendly against Hungary in 2006, a match that England won 3-1.
England's results in the eleven internationals in which Walcott has played since then have been: 3-0 v Trinidad & Tobago (away), 2-0 v Andorra (away), 4-1 v Croatia (away), 5-1 v Kazakhstan (home), 3-1 v Belarus (away), 4-0 v Kazakhstan (away), 6-0 v Andorra (home), 3-1 v Egypt (home), 3-1 v Mexico (home), 2-1 v Japan (in Austria) and 2-1 v Hungary (home).
Last night at Wembley he equalled a record that had stood for nearly a century. Derby County half-back Benjamin Warren won 12 consecutive matches with England between 1908 and 1911. England's results in a different age were even more spectacular: 6-1 v Austria, 11-1 v Austria, 7-0 v Hungary and 4-0 v Bohemia (all away), 4-0 v Ireland, 2-0 v Wales and 2-0 v Scotland (all at home), 4-2 v Hungary, 8-2 v England and 8-1 v Austria (all away), 2-1 v Ireland and 3-0 v Wales (both at home).
Benjamin Warren (7 May 1879 – 15 January 1917)
They weren't the first 12 appearances made by Warren, a player described as ‘a touch slow but brave, splendid in ball control and crisp in tackling'. Certainly no-one would suggest that Walcott was ‘a touch slow'...
