Sven-Goran Eriksson call upon uncapped 17-year-old Theo Walcott for the 2006 World Cup.

Stuart Pearce: "I would very much doubt if I was a betting man that someone would get on that aeroplane having not been capped for England. I very much doubt that.

"But I don't know. I went (to the European Under-21 Championship finals) this summer with one or two players that had never been in the squad before because of injury and one or two other things. You never know.

"But the one thing is that things change quite quickly in football and we've got nine months to go - injury, fitness and form. People come from nowhere."
