10 One-Trick Footballing Ponies Who Made It At The Top Level

A flurry of mid-season goals every year ensure that the tired debate about whether Theo Walcott could indeed be the long-awaited answer to Arsene Wenger's centre-forward prayers never quite goes away.

And yet, year after year, the wily Frenchman stubbornly refuses to give the England international a prolonged run through the middle, preferring the likes of Olivier Giroud, and over the early part of this season, Danny Welbeck and Alexandre Lacazette too.

This is perhaps because Walcott's primary attribute, speed, is only ever going to threaten defences who dig their trenches halfway up the pitch, and the former Southampton man simply lacks the guile, heading or dribbling ability to lead a line like Arsenal strikers past.

There's no shame in not being Thierry Henry, though.
