We would like to think Oxfordshire played a part in Wednesday night's terrific win for the England football team in Croatia.
Arsenal's teenage sensation Theo Walcott, who honed his prodigious skills in Carterton, was the star of the show in Zagreb, scoring a hat-trick in a 4-1 World Cup qualifying win.
Well done, Theo — and long may your goalscoring streak continue.
