Walcott determined for Arsenal to make FA Cup history

Theo Walcott today urged Arsenal to become the competition's most successful club by beating Aston Villa in tomorrow's FA Cup Final. The Gunners will earn that accolade with 12 wins should they beat Tim Sherwood's side.

"It always will be special, not just to me but all the players," said Walcott.

"People say the love has gone for the FA Cup… not at all. For me, not being involved last year hurt so this year you want to take every opportunity you can.

"You want to be in those history books. You want to be remembered for the way you played and a winning team.

"Every single player, me included, will be putting in 110 per cent in this game because it means a lot to us and the fans."
