  A NOTE FROM THEO

  Scoring goals is great, but you get just as much satisfaction from setting them up. Football is a team game and no one can score goals without the help of their team-mates, as Tulsi learns in this story.

  So keep on practising – and make sure you play as part of a team as you will all enjoy it more together.

  About the Author

  THEO WALCOTT was born on 16th March 1989 and grew up near Newbury. After joining the youth scheme at Southampton, he became the Saints’ youngest ever player, before joining Arsenal in January 2006.

  Following Theo’s surprise selection in Sven-Göran Eriksson’s World Cup squad, Theo set another record in making his England debut at the age of just 17 years and 75 days, and was named the BBC’s Young Sports Personality of the Year in 2006.

  Theo is now a star player for both Arsenal and England and in September 2008 became the youngest player to score a hat-trick for England.
