Steven Gerrard Names Arsenal Forward As The Quickest Player He’s Played Alongside

Steven Gerrard gives Theo Walcott the nod…

 

Steven Gerrard named Theo Walcott as the fastest player he’s played alongside in his career in an episode of ‘Teammates’.

Gerrard played alongside Walcott on the international scene for eight years, a partnership which started following the speedster’s shock call-up to the World Cup squad in 2006.

Fresh from a £12million move from Southampton and yet to kick a ball for us in a competitive clash, Sven-Goran Eriksson included him in the travelling party to Germany.

There were strong rumours at the time that a number of senior players were disgusted by Walcott’s inclusion and even took their anger out on the teenager at the time, though those reports have never been verified.

That happened to be the last World Cup Walcott was selected for to date, with injuries and some bizarre decisions keeping him away from the big stage.

However, in terms of raw pace, Gerrard definitely rated Walcott alongside his former Liverpool teammate Fernando Torres.

“Fastest player? From an England point of view it was Theo Walcott,” Gerrard told FourFourTwo.

“He was rapid.”

While he remains one of the fastest players in the division, Walcott seems to have lost a yard ever since that horrible knee injury in 2014.

At the moment, Walcott’s international and club careers are in limbo and the 28-year-old needs to revive them somehow.
