Walcott determined to make mark for Arsenal at Wembley

Arsenal attacker Theo Walcott is eager to make his mark in the FA Cup final against Aston Villa.

Walcott missed last season's final through injury and, after scoring a hat-trick against West Bromwich Albion, the 26-year-old is determined to leave his mark this time around.

"You want to be in the history books," he said. "You want to be remembered for the way you played and for being a winning team. Every single player, me included, will be putting 100 per cent into this game because it means a lot to us and the fans.

"People say the love has gone for the FA Cup… not at all. For me, not being involved last year hurt so this year I want to take every opportunity I can."
