Arsenal winger Theo Walcott is excited to be part of this England World Cup team.

This time round Walcott, now 21, insists he has come of age.

He said: "It's nice to get the chance to play and to deserve to play. I didn't deserve to play or to be in the squad at all in 2006.

"I'd not played in the Premier League and it's just not heard of."
