"Arteta locked us in the dressing room, it was like he was the manager” ⚽ Theo Walcott | Up Front
On today’s episode, we are joined by a former Arsenal favourite who is 1 of only 8 players to score over 100 goals for the club.
Theo Walcott shot to fame at 16 when he signed for Arsenal in 2006, and his profile soared further when he was called up for England for the 2006 World Cup six months later. Upon his signing, he was widely tipped for greatness with comparisons to Thierry Henry. To go along with the goals, Theo won multiple FA Cups during his time in North London, whether that number is 2 or 3 is a point of debate in this very conversation.
Theo joins Simon in Frankfurt, Germany to discuss his career, from his rapid rise in professional football to his time at Arsenal and England. He shares what it was like to play under Arsene Wenger in a transitional period in the club's history. Theo also provides insights on Mikel Arteta, highlighting the traits he saw in him as a player that have contributed to his success as a manager, while also touching on the current England squad and their chances at EURO 2024.

Football fever is sweeping across Germany as Euro 2024 gets into full swing. England kicked off their campaign with a 1-0 win over Serbia, thanks to a Jude Bellingham header. It’s a familiar story: a bright start, lost control, and a nervy finish. Nonetheless, Southgate has led the boys to a win. However, with key figures like Foden struggling to impose themselves on the game, has it left us wi...

Totally agree. I won't support a non-English manager again. But we all know the FA can't be trusted, so let's not be too surprised when a foreigner gets the job. Just look at what the FA did to our flag.
Theo is so articulate
As a Newcastle fan this is a Load of shit he never lived up here in Newcastle he used to get a private helicopter from Cheshire. his “trying” to get fit again to play for England never had any interest in playing for us and he was just upset he couldn’t go back to Liverpool
This hasn't aged well...
Is Simon Jordan the new king of interviews??
Troy been on the marching powder again?
Theo is a nice and humble guy. Very good player, but too much expectaiton and pressure put on him at such a young age. He never fulfilled his potential imo due to injuries and playing wide and not down the middle etc but still had a good career but not a great one.
England team is destroyed by the pressure of the media and disrespectful fans who are selfish and delusional and think they will win every international cup
Rubbish if you are good enough then you get a seat at the table stop woth the excuses its 2024 not 1914
Painkillers
No need to add ”too early” in the sentence ”He went to Tottenham to early”.
Will you be interviewing anyone from the most successful footballing project this country has ever seen?
Lol yous are only picking champions league over euros because England wont win it
The fact he grew taller and changed his name to Dominic Calvertlewin to keep playing is a testament to his dedication to the sport
3 up front with Simon Jordan, Simon J and S. Jordan! And I never knew the special guest Joleon lescott never had so much personality!
Did he pay for that hair
Tactics…. Are pony and that’s the problem.
Well done Theo. Great listen
Best Team.. is about teamwork, balance and tactics... As well as ability individually... But if we are measuring by JUST individuals... Let's think among other European countries. Goalkeeper. Pickford has been brilliant for England, but Donnaruma and Maignon are probably better. Top 5 maybe at a push? Walker - Probably the best in Europe. LB - Top 10? CB PAIR - top 3-5 maybe? Midfield - top 2/3? Attack - top 1/2 The challenge is balance and teamwork. Rice, Foden, Bellingham are all top top players, but as a Three in midfield they have weaknesses.
65 goals in 270 prem games for arsenal, he's always been seen as some sort of footballing prodigy in the media but ive just never seen the interest in him...
THE MINDSET WAS TOP 4???? NOT TROPHIES, BUT TOP 4???? NOW I KNOW WHY WE HAVEN'T WON A TROPHY IN YEARS!! RUBBISH
I remember one year soon after the financial crisis when he re-negotiated his salary and his pay rise was equivalent of the increase in season ticket costs for the following year. I can’t be certain but I remember the season tickets price raised an additional 6m in and his pay rise was an addition 100k+ pw. It was hard for me to pay for mine and my son’s tickets but at least Theo was happy.
Simon's the best. Really looking for honesty. Great interview from a fantastic interviewer.
come across as a really nice guy and i like the way he talks about football too
Simon asking harder questions this time!!
Simon Jordan puts his questions across in a very toxic/unpleasant way without consideration to the feeling of the guest.
Suchhhhhhh a soft belly on him
Two seasons two trophies
This showed us A LOT of Theo’s character… someone who would shy away from responsibility & lacking conviction but in his head, he’s ALWAYS doing the right thing and nothing is his fault…
Arsene Wenger never got the best of him…at Southampton he was rising but at Arsenal he levelled
Great interview. Theo spoke so well, great insight into his career
Souness don’t even know who these guys are 🤣
He's good in Eastenders
Humped out very soon 🤩
Simons little smirk to let Walcott know getting 4th spot in a league isn't an achievement 😂
Mesut ozil he's fire play👌
