THEO WALCOTT: Would Walcott's World Cup Football Woes Continuue???


In 2006 Theo was just 17 years old before he was surprisingly included in England's squad but he never kicked the ball through the tournament. In 2010 he wasn't included which was a surprise to many and 2014 is completely ruled out due to injury. Is this a curse??? See some statistics below

Walcott first suffered with a shoulder injury in the 2006-07 season
He dislocated his shoulder while training with England in November 2008 and was out for five months
