April 29, 2000, and an 11-year-old Chelsea ballboy is starstruck. He has a fondness for Gerard Houllier's Liverpool, who have Michael Owen up front, and they are the visitors to Stamford Bridge. He sees club captain Jamie Redknapp and plucks up the courage to ask for a picture.
The young man posing for the camera with his arms behind his back is Theo Walcott. Soon he will join Southampton's academy and five years later Redknapp's father Harry will be handing him his first-team debut.
He will become the youngest player to represent England, and Sven-Goran Eriksson will take him to the 2006 World Cup at the age of 17.
