Arsenal's Jack Wilshere could become England’s tenth youngest player.
Arsenal starlet Jack Wilshere, at 18 years 222 days, will become the tenth youngest England player in history if he plays any part in tomorrow night’s Wembley friendly with Hungary.
Wilshere was capped five times at Under-21 level last season and has now been included in a Senior squad for the first time.
Here is a current list of the ‘Top Ten Youngest England Players’:-
- Theo Walcott – 17 years 75 days – v Hungary on 30 May 2006
- Wayne Rooney – 17 years 111 days – v Australia on 12 February 2003
- James Prinsep – 17 years 252 days – v Scotland on 5 April 1879
- Thurston Rostron – 17 years 311 days – v Wales on 26 February 1881
- Clement Mitchell – 18 years 23 days – v Wales on 15 March 1880
- Michael Owen – 18 years 59 days – v Chile on 11 February 1998
- Micah Richards – 18 years 144 days – v Holland on 15 November 2006
- Duncan Edwards – 18 years 183 days – v Scotland on 2 April 1955
- James Brown – 18 years 210 days – v Wales on 26 February 1881
- Arthur Brown – 18 years 328 days – v Wales on 29 February 1904
When Walcott made his debut – also against Hungary – he still hadn’t played in the Premier League for Arsenal. He replaced Michael Owen after 65 minutes to beat the record set by Rooney three years earlier.
