England and Arsenal forward Theo Walcott took time out to chat to fans and sign copies of his autobiography in Canary Wharf last Thursday.

The 22-year-old, known for his lightning fast pace on the football field, cut a relaxed figure as he met scores of fans who queued the length of the Jubilee Place shopping mall.

Theo was signing copies of his book, “Theo: Growing Up Fast”, in Waterstone’s.

Despite his tender years, the book can still call on plenty of highlights from Theo’s career, including his surprise call-up to the 2006 England World Cup squad and becoming the youngest player to score a hat-trick for the national team.
