After being released by Southampton this summer, Theo Walcott has decided to retire from the game at 34 years of age.
Dogged by injuries during the latter part of his career, the lightning-fast winger will still be remembered fondly by Saints fans as well as Arsenal and Everton supporters.
Sky Sports News report that he did have offers to continue his career elsewhere, but has made the decision to call it a day.
He leaves the game after making over 400 career appearances and having played 47 times for England.
