Liverpool legend Alan Hansen admits slating Arsenal star Theo Walcott is the biggest regret of his media career. Hansen, who has left BBC Sport, wrote in the Telegraph: "Four years ago, I said that Theo Walcott did not have a 'football brain', without realising that my comments would be misinterpreted to such an extent.
"The meaning of my observation was not as brutal as it may have come across, but nonetheless, I was critical of Walcott's ability and I am pleased to say that Theo has proved me wrong one million per cent.
"He is a proper player and I have to admit that my comments about him were the only time that I have ever been happy to be wrong.
"Theo is an intelligent boy, very bright, with genuine ability and he has given the best possible response to my remarks by pretty much showing two fingers to what I said.
"I have met him since I said it and there has never been a problem between the pair of us. I am delighted with how he has developed as a player."
