England’s Youngest Player
Arsenal’s Theo Walcott became England’s youngest ever player aged just 17 years and 75 days when he made his debut as a substitute against Hungary in May 2006.
Walcott’s introduction as a second-half substitute in the International Friendly, the Three Lion’s penultimate warm-up game prior to the 2006 World Cup, meant that he beat Wayne Rooney’s previous record set three years earlier. He was 17 years 111 days when he appeared as a substitute against Australia in February 2003
