Portsmouth's England goalkeeper David James has revealed the new nickname given to Arsenal star Theo Walcott.

He told the Observer: "Theo reminds me of Michael Owen. Michael never shouted the odds across the table; he always kept himself to himself. Theo is the same - even after the Croatia game, he went there, scored three goals and went home. There wasn't any change in him.

"The lads started calling him Lewis Hamilton - because he's quicker than Lewis's car. With all that, you could excuse a young player for being a bit big-headed, but he was exactly the same afterwards. A mature, quiet, sensible young lad - I genuinely like him."
