Walcott starts for England

Theo Walcott has been handed his first England start today as Fabio Capello’s side began their World Cup qualifying campaign against Andorra at the Olympic Stadium in Barcelona.

Walcott had previously made only two substitute appearances – against Hungary in May 2006 and against Trinidad & Tobago in June – but Capello has given the 19-year-old a chance to impress against the European minnows.
